AND AGAIN WE REMEMBER SWEET CHAPATHI’S ( BOBBATLU)
Ever since his childhood my son has been fond of these so called sweet chapathi’s or bobbatlu.His granny used to buy him those whenever he asked for as they were always available at Swagruha foods in hyderabad. Now this time when he asked me he wanted to eat I had no other option but to prepare them. This was the first time i ever attempted to prepare the tough ones.
BOBBATLU
INGREDIENTS
Chana Dal - 4 cups
Jaggery - 4 cups
Cardamom - 6 nos
Maida - 400 gms
Salt - 1 tsp
Oil - for roasting the bobbatlu
Water - for making maida dough
Coconut powder - 1/2 cup
PREPARATION
Cook chana dal in a cooker . Strain away extra water if any and grind it along with jaggery powder. Now add powdered cardamom to it . The paste must be semi solid kind . Note that it is not made too soft so be cautious. Mix coconut powder and make small balls of the size of a lemon and set them aside. Take maida add the salt and knead it into dough pouring water sparingly . Just as we make chapathi dough. Apply little oil if you have difficulty in kneading it . Now make small balls roughly about the size of a small lemon and set aside. Take one ball and apply maida and roll it into a small chapathi and put the sweet ball into it and fold the corners of the dough onto the ball apply oil and start making it in the form of a chapathi with your hand see that the sweet is uniformly distributed all around the sides . The dough will break off so be careful while making the chapathi . You need to apply enough oil so as to avoid the splitting . Heat the tawa or pan and heat the chapathi . Add oil inorder to make it red . Heat it on both the sides and make sure it is cooked red . Its ready to serve along with ghee applied on it with milk . Best tasted that way … If not you can have it with out milk too.
At last they came out well and my son had relished it … Now he has a wish again and I need a break ………

This is my favorite food, while going through the recipe I was feeling to have it.
Really I appreciate this recipe, it excellent.
In our side, people usually prepare during festivals like Dasera, Diwali, etc..
Our side, people use Toor dal and wheat floor instead of chana dal and maida respectively.
Thanks,
