Sweet Lentil Flatbread – Puran Poli / Bobbatlu

Bobbatlu (called Puran Poli in Maharashtra) are soft flatbreads stuffed with a cooked filling of chana dal and jaggery, seasoned with cardamom. The dough is rolled paper-thin around the filling, then roasted on a tawa with generous ghee until golden on both sides. The result is sweet, soft, slightly chewy — a festival staple across Telugu homes.
