Boli [ popularly known as Trivandrum boli ]is the Kerala version of Puran poli/ holigai/ obuttlu. The usage of sesame oil is one of the main difference between puran poli and boli. Kerala boli has a light flavor of sesame oil in it. Here in this version of kerala boli I added rose syrup, rose water and rose petals for a nice and delicious twist in the traditional flavor. #CookpadDiwali #Dipaawali #deepawali
