3. While the dough rests, make purnam. Pressure cook the chana dal with little or no water ( just enough to cover the dal ) for less than one whistle. do not over cook the dal. we don't need the realities mushy. we wish it simply cooked but not mashed or broken.
                                                                             

4. Drain the dal employing a colander. you can save this water to form rasam or sambar later.

10. Now to form bobbatlu we need to make parathas with the dough and stuff this purnam mixture in it. this is traditionally greased on greased banana leaf, but if you do not have it, create it on greased plastic sheet or greased foil.

11. Grease your palms with ghee in order that the dough doesn't follow your fingers while working with it. Take a lemon sized ball of the dough and place it on greased sheet. With the assistance of your fingers press it gently to spread the dough.

12. Now take a little of purnam ( slightly larger than lemon ) and place it on the center of the spread dough.

Bring the edges of the chapatti along to seal it.

14. Roll it terribly gently making sure the stuffed mixture does not excrete.

15. Heat the tawa or griddle, grease with drawn butter. And gently place this rolled out poli on the tawa.

16. Roast on each the sides by smearing ghee. Be generous with ghee for this direction , its ok... you'll run a couple of extra miles the next day.

                                                                         

15. When both the sides are roast well, take it out on a serving plate. you can add few the sides drops of drawn butter on high of this bobbatlu or poli simply before serving. do not be guilty. more eat bobbatlu every day after all.
