Paruppu Poli in Tamil Nadu,obbattu in Karnataka or Puran Poli in Maharashtra, it’s the same name for this sweet indulgence.This is prepared in many households as an offering for different and I am posting this here for the Avani Avittam festival which is on 29th of this month. Avani Avittam is the ceremony for men folks in the house where they change the sacred thread called poonal. And for this the chief attraction is Paruppu Poli and is made with channa dal and jaggery.I make this Poli very often as all the family members are fond of this.With practice one can master in making these, though it is not that difficult to make.

Notes.
Be generous in making the dough with sesame oil.This will result in soft polis.
If you find the filling little loose,heat it in a pan to become thick and of the desired consistency.
Ghee should be served alongwith polis as they add more taste to polis.
