kayi holige recipe | naariyal puran poli | kayi obbattu | coconut poli with step by step photo and video recipe. poli recipes are very common in south india and also some part of western india. it is generally made with lentil and jaggery combination with different types of flours coating. yet there are other variations to this simple indian sweet and one such variation is from karnataka known as kayi holige recipe.

i believe puran poli is a known recipe to many as it is quite popularly made and served during festival season. however, a similar kind of variation is made in south india, particularly in karnataka with coconut and jaggery stuffing. the traditional puran poli is made with lentil and jaggery stuffing which makes it similar to sweetened dal paratha. but due to the coconut and jaggery stuffing, the poli ends up with caramelised texture. in addition, the outer layer is thin and transparent and hence you feel eating just the stuffing without any flour taste. to achieve the thin rubbery texture, i have used plain flour dough soaked in sesame oil. dipping in oil helps to easily stretch the dough and also shape the holige.

furthermore, some more tips, suggestions and variations to naariyal puran poli. firstly, the traditional kayi obbattu is made with maida or plain flour, but there are other healthy variants too. you may also use fine semolina, chirotti rava, maida and wheat flour combination or just wheat flour. secondly, while shaping the poli, try to tap it as thin as possible. basically, the layering has to be transparent with puran visible while frying. lastly, it is best when served hot with a generous scoop of ghee on top it. also, you can store it in an airtight container for longer shelf life.
