Nithi, thanks for your post.
Nithi according to elders we are not supposed to have any
celebrations for a year, because of the deaths.
We just put fruits and had prayers in our house.
this year.
Normally I will do a sweet mothagam, savoury kolukkatai,
ponggal, sundal, and paal payasam along with fruits for prayers.
Thanks Nithi, take care. Kugan98
Hi Kugan
How are you? Today a workmate brought some lovely sweets named obuttu. It was flat like paratha but very soft. I could taste heaps of ghee, basan flour, sesame seeds, and cardamom. Please post the recipe if you can guess what it is. He is from Bengalore. Thank you
Here is my pancake recipe
self raising flour 2 cups (1cup=250ml)
Milk 2 cups
Eggs 2
Castor sugar 1/3 cup
Butter melted 2tb sp
Beat the eggs and add milk and sugar. Put self raising flour in a bowl and make a well in the centre. Add the milk egg sugar mix and mix it without lumps. Add melted butter. Leave the mixture to rest for 20minutes. Make pancakes on fry pan or tawa. Serve with vanila icecream and maple syrub or honey. Hope you'll like it.
Regards
Shanthy
Suvai thanks for all your compliments.
Suvai it was your aunts biryani in my house for lunch.
Its very simple to make with very few vegetables.
Not very rich with lots of ghee and also cashew nuts.
Everyone enjoyed the dish in my house.
I will post your recipe( I like the way you write in Tanglish)
Along with the picture taken.
I served with onion raitha.
Thanks Suvai, hope you will undo all your aunty's recipes
one by one for us to enjoy.
Thanks again Suvai , take care. Kugan98.
Note Suvai what did you do for Pilliar?
Thanks Shanthy for your pancake recipe.
Shanthy if I am not mistaken, obbuttu is another name for boli.
They even call it puran poli.
The fillings differ in different places.
Some use channa dal, some use toor dal
There are also people who use coconut and sesame seeds as fillings.
Every one uses maida as the cover, not besan.
I might be wrong Shanthy. Let me find out.
If I come across anyone using besan and they know the recipe.
I will surely post it for you. Thanks. Kugan98

Dear Kugan
You are right. It is a different version of boli. Normally the boli we make is soft and you can see the filling. In this obuttu filling and cover all mixed up and a little harder. Probably a good quantity of ghee did that too. I will also ask him for a recipe and post it. I don't think he is much of a cook.
I am very proud that you are also so resourceful. Well done! I didn't even think of the connection between boli and ombuttu.

Shanthy

I am no expert. Just learned on the way.
Do please post if you get the recipe from your friend.
Thanks. Take care. Kugan98
