Puran poli variation brings its own flavour, ingredients, and preparation style. Here are some Maharashtrian puran poli recipes you can try this festive season.
Vedmi
It uses tuvar dal instead of chana dal. The filling consists of mashed tuvar dal combined with jaggery, giving it a light and slightly different texture.
Bobbatlu
This variation uses a filling made from chana dal and jaggery, but the outer layer is prepared with a mix of rice flour and maida.
Poli
This poli's filling combines grated coconut, chana dal, and jaggery, and is spiced with cardamom and nutmeg for extra warmth.
Bakshalu
It has a filling made of coconut, jaggery, chana dal, and a hint of cardamom. The dough for bakshalu includes rice flour.
Holige or Obbattu
This variation closely resembles the traditional puran poli. Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom enhance the sweetness, while jaggery sweetens the chana dal filling. The dough is often made with rice flour.
