UGADI SUBHAKANKSHALU!!! I had browsed your website many times for different recipes, but never commented. Thought this would be the right time. Have a nice year ahead and thanks for all your yummy recipes so far!

Excellent! I’ve been looking for a recipe for this for years! I’ve been following your blog for some time and you’ve been an inspiration to me for that whole time. I’ve been blown away by the love you put in your cooking and life. I think you have the best blog on the web and the photos are amazing. And finally I found your recipe - I sampled this in Karnataka years ago but as best as I could understand, I thought the name was obbattu or holige (due to my inabilities to speak the local languages). Thank you!

Indira, try doing that on parchment paper if you still havent tried. I found it difficult to do it on aluminium foil.

You made it look so simple to make bobbatlu (polilu is what we say at home..and polila charu). And we make it exactly the same way as you said. Love your site..as usual!

Thanks!

My favourite deserts are bobbatlu, basandi shrikhand, habshi halwa and kalakhand.
It does not mean I eat them everyday.
If I remember well, mahatrashtrian friends dip this poli in mangoe juice and eat.
I was treated to poli like this once, and it was delicious.
I generally dip it in ghee.
Some of my friends specially prepare bobbatlu, when they invite me for a dinner.
Your instructions were simple and clear.
Thanks for the recipe.
