This is one of my favorite sweet.
This is called Holige or Obbattu in Kannada.

Ingredients:
Chana dal 1 cup
Jaggery 1 cup
Cardamom 1 tea spn
Maida/Plain flour 1 and 1/2 cups
Turmeric a pinch
Wheat sooji(rava) (optional) 2 tea spns
Oil 1 tea spn
Salt a pinch
Method:
Cook Chana dal in pressure cooker. Drain all the water.
Cook dal mixed with jaggery for 10min. Grind without using water. Add cardamom and mix well with hand to get a smooth mixture. It is called Hoorana.
Mix flour/maida with sooji, turmeric, salt. Add water,oil and make a dough. Cover and keep aside for 1hr.
Take a ball of dough and spread with hand. Keep a ball of chana mixture and cover with the dough and seal the ends. Apply oil to a plastic paper, keep the ready ball on it and roll it like chapathi . Fry on hot tava till it gets golden brown color.
Serve hot/cold with ghee.


Tips for good Holige: 1.Use milk instead of water for making the maida dough to make pooran polis very soft.

2. Use Toor dal along with chana dal to make them more thin and soft.

3. If the chana dal mixture becomes too dry and cannot be made into balls, add some avalakki(thin poha) or 1 spn rice flour to it.

4. Use rava and flour in 1:1 proportion to make the outer wrap very soft.
