Holige, also known as Obbattu or Puran Poli, is a traditional Indian sweet flatbread. It’s popular in the southern state of Karnataka, especially during the festival of Ugadi. The roti is stuffed with a sweet mixture of jaggery, lentils, and cardamom, and it is usually served with a dollop of ghee or consumed with milk or coconut milk.

To prepare the dough, mix together the flour, oil, turmeric, and gradually add water to knead into a smooth dough. Cover and keep aside for 30 minutes.
Boil the chana dal until it is soft and then drain the water.
Mix the cooked chana dal and jaggery in a pan and cook until the jaggery melts.
Add the cardamom powder and mix well. Cook this mixture until it is dry. Allow it to cool and then grind into a fine paste.
Take a small portion of the dough, flatten it and add a spoonful of the stuffing in the center. Cover the stuffing with the edges of the dough. Roll it out carefully into a disc.
Heat a tawa and cook the roti on medium heat, applying ghee on both sides until it turns golden brown.
Serve hot with ghee.
