Can someone name these?...Bobbattlu???

There's an age old idiom in telugu "Ayyavaari vigraham cheyabothe adi pilli ayindi"...That's what happened today...

I wanted to make coconut jaggery sweet...the famous kobbari louju...but it turned out to be something like bobbatlu (Puran poli), with a different stuffing....

I chose kobbari louju because it's a very easy recipe...Dissolve grated jaggery in water, boil it to a thick consistency (theega pakam), add freshly grated coconut and cardamon powder, mix well..cool and spread it evenly on a greased plate, cut into pieces with a knife when it solidifies...so easy...

So Get set go..I started with boiling the water with Jaggery...I think I've added too much water and hence I was not able to get that consistency (theega pakam)....hmmm I had no more jaggery left to add so that I can get the required consistency...Then I decided to add something else...I found dalia (fried chick peas)..I quickly measured a cup full of dalia and blended them to a smooth powder using the mill.

I then added this powder to the jaggery mixture...hmmm, now I got the required thickness...Then I added the fresh grated coconut and mixed well...Put off the flame..cooled down and made lemon sized balls like laddus....I thought "Hammayya, it's not a failure atlast"..

Suman returned back home from his sunday cricket practice...I proudly showed him my new creation....I didn't tell him about the addition of dalia powder..Just told him that I made kobbari louju....He was so delighted...Tasted it and said.."It's something different but good, what did u do papa?"....

Then with my trade mark wicked smile I told him about the recipe....He sighed n said..."Hmmm another experiment...but this's good, it tastes like the mix inside our bobbattlu"....

Haayyyyyyy....he unintentionally used the term bobbattlu...Then I jumped into the kitchen and started making the flour for bobbattlu...He screamed "Ippude ga chesaav, malli em chesthunnav?"..I told him that I was making bobbattlu...

He's totally puzzled...I couldn't explain his facial expressions, but his inane feeling was "Ee pillatho nenu ela vegaali devudaa..God how do I tolerate this girl?"

He was just yelling, but I continued...mixed a cup of all purpose flour with ghee and water and made rotis with that dough...stuffed that kobbari louju(???) into these rotis and made bobbattlu...

They tasted good, very different from normal bobbattlu because of the stuffing I used....Normal bobbattlu contain boiled chana dal, jaggery ground to a paste...My recipe contained dalia (very close to chana dal), jaggery and haa grated coconut is an addittion...so what...coconut tastes good when cooked with jaggery...all that matters is the taste..Isn't it?

Now my hubby wants me to make some more bobbattlu so that we can take them to our friends' home who invited us for dinner today...well, that explains a lot..that my new experiment isn't a fiasco...

For those brave souls who want to try this recipe here are the measurements...

Grated Jaggery - One cup

Grated coconut - One cup

Dalia/Roasted chick peas/Putnalu pappu - One cup (powdered)

All purpose flour - One cup

Water

Ghee

Cardamon powder - 1 pinch

They taste well when topped with a drop of Ghee and served hot..Just as the normal bobbattlu
