Bobbatlu | Puran Poli is a sweet stuffed Indian Bread made on the day of Ugadi.
I'm not a chef but I'm passionate about food - the tradition of it, cooking it and sharing it.
I truly believe that food brings people together, especially home-made food which we learnt from our dear ones..
The recipe I'm sharing has a very emotional memory connected good and baad, some learning experiences and some that I'll take with me the rest of my life as I learnt this from my Aunty (mother's elder sister) who is no more and I learnt it over a phone which was explained in such a way with her experience that I mastered it in my first trial itself..
