Poornam holigalu || Poornam bakshalu || Puran poli with pics and tips. Happy Diwali - 2021 to all friends and family 🎆🎇Poornam bakshalu is Indian flatbread prepared by using different stuffings. Puran poli is also popularly known as bobbatlu or bakshalu in Telugu, holige in Kannada and poli in Tamil. This is one of the main sweet recipe prepared on special occasions in South India. Mainly in my home town Adoni it is prepared on special occasions like Ganesh festival, Vara Lakshmi pooja,Diwali, Lakshmamavayya jathara, functions like marriages, naming ceremony etc.., We can prepare different varieties of poli like puran poli, coconut poli, vegetable poli, karam poli, sooji poli. In all these Puran poli is very popularly, which is prepared by using sweet dal stuffing called as poornam in Telugu. We can prepare dough using all purpose flour or wheat flour or chiroti rava. Today I am using chiroti rava to prepare dough instead of maida. Let's start recipe..

Sweet corn pulao

Sweet corn pulao is one of the tasty pulao recipe which is very easy to prepare and perfect for lunch box and parties. I made it healthy by adding veggies like carrot and beans. You can also add peas in this pulao or simply you can skip adding veggies. Who d't like pulao's and biryani's ?? kabuli chana pulao, Hyderabd dum biryani are my favorite rice items. I made this sweet corn pulao bit spicy by adding freshly prepared masala mix, as corn taste sweet. And I prepared this pulao in electric cooker which I recently purchased, pulao came out very tasty with perfect texture. We can pair this corn pulao with raita like pomegranate raita or simple cucumber onion raita. We can also have it with kabuli chana curry , Kaddu ka dalcha or with any paneer gravies.
