    Hi Prathi,

    Just had my lunch with the Huruli Molakke kattu saaru.
    the palya was damn good and I'm waiting to feed my daughter.
    I've decided to prepare this once a week. Even I've heard huruli is very nutritious.
    thanks for this wonderful recipe. the saaru was more rasam like but the ground paste gives a completely diff taste. tooooooo good.

    Even when I'm writing to u, I've a bowl of the palya in front of me and I'm eating it like a snack.

    thank you dear.........

    Holige/ Obbattu/ Pooran Poli

    This one uses Toor dal. Many versions use gram dal but in our homes we use toor dal. there is one more version which doesnt use dal but only coconut. I am yet to try making it. Shall post once i try it and succeed.



    For the Hoorna/filling/pooran

    Toor dhal – 1 cup
    Grated fresh coconut – 1 cup
    Powdered Jaggery 0 2 cups
    Elaichi powder – 1 tsp or less
    Water


    • Cook the dhal directly in a vessel (not pressurise) with enough water with a lid, till that dhal is 3/4ht done. It should not become soft. Keep checking.
    • After the Dhal is cooked thus drain the water. Don’t waste the water it can be used as stock for rasam.
    • Once it is completely drained, to this dhal add grated coconut, jaggery and elaichi powder.
    • Take this mixture in a thick-bottomed vessel or pressure pan, and on a medium flame cook while stirring without break. Keep stirring till this reaches a consistency when the mixture leaves the walls and becomes a ball. Don’t stop stirring or it may burn.Take off the fire and cool.
    • Grind this mixture once it cools down to a fine paste WITHOUT ADDING WATER. If u r in India and have a grinding stone at home and also the energy, u can grind in the stone. The filling is ready.
    • Make big lemon-sized balls of this hoorna/filling.


    For the Outer covering



    Maida/Plain flour or Chiroti rava (Anyone can be use. Chiroti rava gives a crispier texture.) – ½ KG

    Water
    Salt – ¼ tsp
    Groundnut oil – ½ litre (preferably. Else u can use refined cooking oil)
    Turmeric- ¼ spoon


    • Mix the maida with water, turmeric and salt, a little softer than the chapathi dough, in a wide mouthed basin.
    • Pour the oil over the dough, so that it is completely immersed in oil. Keep this aside for at least 1 hour.


    To proceed
    • Take a ball of the dough from oil.(the size of parantha)
    • U can use a clean and thick plastic cover(empty oil sachet) or aluminium foil or plantain/banana leaf.
    • Take the dough and pat it on the cover to the size of a puri.
    • Place the Filling in the centre and cover the dough like how we do for parantha.
    • Pat again to the size of roti. My mother uses this method and I also do the same. It may be tricky for the first time, but don’t get disheartened I got it right the first time. If u r comfortable rolling like roti u can do that also.
    • Heat the tava. Smear a tsp of oil only for the first time. Put the patted obbattu on the tava.
    • Roast on both the sides. Don’t use oil for the rest of obbattus.
    • Serve hot with ghee and milk.
