Poornam bobbatlu || Pooranam holigalu || puran poli || Poornam bakshalu

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..

6) Puran poli is ready, take it into plate. Repeat the same process for remaining, serve it hot by adding lots of ghee on it 😋😍.

** you can also use either toor dal or chana dal.

** Make sure that puran or poornam is thick.

**Inorder to get delicious bobbatlu use ghee to fry poli.

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.

Masala maramaralu || karam borugulu || spicy puffed rice

 Masala maramaralu || karam borugulu || spicy puffed rice is very popular snack in Andhra and in many places of India and called with different names like masala murmura in Hindi, masala mandakki in Kannada and masala pori in Tamil. It is very easy to prepare with easily available ingredients. It is perfect tea time snack and popular snack for journey's and picnics. We can also add some onions, grated carrot, cucumber and lemon in masala puffed rice while serving, which is also called churumuri in Kannada, Jhal muri in Hindi. I am big fan of Jhal muri which we get in trains mainly while travelling North side. As they use mustard oil in it, that flavors makes you feel hungry while travelling, will share that recipe soon 😊. I loved my friend Kalyani's  microwaved masala peanuts which is also perfect snack for journey's and picnics.

dry shredded coconut pieces - 2 tsp

curry leaves - 2 sprigs

red chilli - 3

garlic - 5(optional, I did not used)

1) Heat wide bowl add 2 TSP of  oil, 1/4 tsp of turmeric powder and puffed rice for a minute on medium flames till it becomes crispy and take it into bowl.

2) Now heat 3 tsp of oil and then fry groundnuts till it changes color and then take it into cup.

3) Now add  crushed garlic (if you want to use) fry till it changes color then add mustard seeds. When it starts crackling add cumin seeds and fry till you get nice aroma.

4) Later add green chillies, red chillies, curry leaves and fry it well. 

5) later add fried chana dal, fried ground nuts, shredded coconut pieces and fry it well. 

6) Switch off the flames and add red chilli powder, salt and mix everything.

7) Now add this mixture in fried puffed rice and mix everything well.(** If need add some boiled oil )

Tips

** Fry green chillies well so that they do not taste spicy while eating and also increase its shell life.

** Adding garlic is optional but it gives nice aroma and taste.

** If you want you can also add sev/omapodi, fried corn flakes, fried dalmooth, my uncle also loves to add some masala peanuts in it. 

** As we already added green and red chillies, add red chilli powder accordingly.

** Let the mixture cool to room temperature and then store it in air tight container so that puffed rice stay crispy for long time.

** Do not over fry puffed rice, as they become more crispy and thick.

** In order to keep this mixture crispy for long time frying puffed rice is important.
