Puran Poli is a sweet flatbread from India. It is also known as Puran Poli (पुरण पोळी) in Marathi, Boli (Malayalam/Tamil), Bobbatlu (Telugu), Holige (ಹೋಳಿಗೆ), Obbattu (ಒಬ್ಬಟ್ಟು) in Kannada, Ubbatti, or simply, Poli.

Regional variants

The dish has its origins from Maharashtra.The method of preparation varies from place to place. Sometimes grated coconut is added in Konkan,Maharashtra. Coconut palm jaggery may be used. Similarly a mix or sugar and jaggery can be used as a sweetening agent. Normally nutmeg is used as a flavoring along the coast which is replaced by cardamom or sometimes both elsewhere. Nut, dates, etc. may also be added in this

Methods of rolling the stuffed dough also differ. It can be rolled using rice flour which makes the rolling very convenient. In some recipes flour is not used at all; oil or ghee is used to roll it into a flatbread instead. The rolled bread can be roasted with or without any ghee or oil, which sometimes is smeared after its completely cooked. In some places all-purpose flour dough is used after adding a pinch of turmeric which gives it a traditional yellow color.

The size and thickness of Puran Puri also varies greatly, in Maharashtra or Gujarat where the stuffing used is Toor Dal, it will be small in size and thickness will be more, where as in Holige with coconut stuffing it will be larger in size and with less thickness. Obbattu (ಒಬ್ಬಟ್ಟು) is very popular in Karnataka and is prepared on festival days.^[1]
