Thengai Poli – Sweet Poli – Coconut Poli – South Indian Poli Recipe with Coconut (Obbuttu – Bobbattu) – Dessert recipe – Sweets Recipe – naivedyam recipes – Pooja Recipe – Festivals Recipe –

I am not big fan of Poli. My sister loves it. Last time when did Puran poli my 2nd son and my husband loved it. My family (except me) is big fan of all coconut base dessert (chocolate, payasam etc..). So I was pretty sure this recipe will be a hit with them.. It is simpler version compared to one with done with dal. Now days I hear argument that ghee and coconut is good for healthy esp for the growing kids.. not sure how true though..You can still enjoy this during this festive season
