 Paneer do pyaza || Restaurant style paneer do pyaza at home. Paneer and onions cooked in creamy tomato mixture tastes super yummy, we can pair it with naans, roti's or even with any flavored rice items. Any recipe prepared using paneer is my favorite, yes I hear you, its yours favorite too right?? 😉. Whenever I go restaurants I always order paneer item then I search other recipe for pairing. I tasted different types of paneer do pyaza recipes, today I am sharing the recipe which I tasted first @Talcher, Odisha restaurant. Do means two and pyaza means onions, paneer and onions are two main ingredients in this recipe. Are you thinking whats special in my recipe?? Its the way of adding onions. We can add onion petals or small onions to prepare this paneer do payaza. I am using small variety onions, you can use sambar onions or onions petals.  I had this with simple and tasty sweet corn pulao.

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..

I am paired with Kalyani who blogs at "Sizzlingtastebuds", do check her space for different varieties of recipes from different regions. I gave saunf and powdered sugar as secret ingredients, she prepared air fryer makhana chivda recipe.In turn Kalyani gave me chiroti rava and toor dal as secret ing, both ingredients helped me to get tasty bobbatlu.

Instructions

Dough Preparation

1) Take chiroti rava in a wide bowl to this add salt, turmeric powder and mix everything well.

2) Now sprinkle water little by little and mix everything well till get smooth dough.

3) Now add 1/4 cup of oil and knead it well till dough absorbs oil, later add remaining oil and rest it for 2 to 4 hrs by closing lid.  


 

 Stuffing/ poornam preparation 

1) Wash & soak both toor dal and chana dal in enough water for 1 hr.

2) Now take dal in pressure cooker and add 4 cups of water(for 2 cups of dal add 4 cups of water )  and pressure cook it for 2 whistles.

3) Let the pressure comes down naturally, strain dal and remove water completely. Let it cool to room temperature and becomes bit dry .

4) Now grind cooked dal by adding jaggery to smooth paste and take it into bowl. 

5) If prepared poornam is thick then add elachi powder and mix everything well and keep it aside to cool.

6) Otherwise take prepared poornam/puran in kadai, cook it on low to medium flames by adding elachi powder till it becomes thick and then let it cool. 

7) Now pinch some dal mixture, mold it as round ball and keep it aside.

Poli preparation  

1) Take poli paper which we used to prepare poli or butter paper or banana leaf or any thick cover like oil covers. Add some ghee or oil on it and spread it well, also apply ghee or oil to your hands.

2) Now pinch lemon size dough, spread it like small poori. Then place prepared dal stuffing/puran/pooram and close it without having any pleats as shown.


3) Now press the above with your fingers all the corner and give it round shape as shown.

4) Take the above prepared poli cover in one hand and reverse it on our hand and then spread it on hot tawa. If you are using butter paper or banana leaf then directly place it on tawa leave it for a second and then remove banana leaf. 

5) Add ghee on and around poli and fry it for few seconds, later turn it other side and fry till it changes color both sides.

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 😋😍.

** Make sure that puran or poornam is thick.

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