Obbattu
Karnataka is one state with wildly different tastes. From the coastal delicacies of Mangalore to the spice-heavy dishes of states closer to Maharashtra the flavours are beautifully different. But this sweetened roti is popular all over the state and even in others too. Obbattu that my friend’s mom used to make, made our day when we were faced with boring office lunches. It’s very similar to the Puran Poli popular in Maharashtra.
The various names for the flatbread include puran puri (પુરણ પુરી) or vedmi in Gujarati, bobbattlu or baksham or oliga in Telugu, Andhra Pradesh holige or obbattu in Kannada, puran poli (पुरणपोळी) in Marathi, payasabolli or simply bolli in Malayalam , poli or uppittu Tamil, bhakshalu or pole or polae in Telugu, Telangana and ubbatti or simply poli in Konkani. It is usually served with paal payasam in meals and feasts in Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
