Ingredients 

To Make Outer Dough

salt - a pinch.

Turmeric Powder - 1 pinch.

oil - 3 tbsp.

water .

For Stuffing

Chana dal/Toor dal  - 3/4 cup.

Jaggery - 3/4 cup.

coconut - 1/4 cup.

Preparation

To Make Outer Dough

Combine Maida,salt, turmeric powder, 2 tbsp of oil   together &  add water little by little,  to make a dough. finally add 1 tbsp of oil over the dough, cover it & let it sit aside for minimum  3 hours. Dough will loosen. Then after 3 hours, knead the dough again, to make smooth & pliable dough.

To Make Poornam

•  Meanwhile, Saute the chanadal for 5 min, till you get nice aroma.Then transfer it to a vessel & add  needed water and pressure cook it for 5 whistles.
•  Grind cooked chanadal, coconut and powdered   jaggery into a coarse paste.(You should drain the water completely from chanadal before grinding).

Method

•  Make equal sized balls from the dough, as shown in the picture.
• Grease the banana leaf or ziploc  cover with oil, place the balls and pat it into small poori's.

• Then place the filling - Purnam,  at the centre, then bring the edges to gether.

•  Then spread,  into circular disc, as thin you can  and cook  it on the tawa.Cook  at low - medium flame, on both the sides, till Golden spots appear, by smearing  a tsp of Ghee.

• When it is cooked on both the sides, remove it from the tawa.

Notes

• More the time the dough sits aside, dough will be softer &  becomes like elastic.
• Also, Do not compromise the quantity of oil, else dough won't be softer, so obviously poli's.
• Making the dough thin or thick, depends upon your choice.
• Adding the turmeric is optional.
• Instead of chanadal, you can make purnam using Toor dal also.
• Let the poornam be stiff, if watery, poornam will come out while making bobbatlu.
• you can smear the Ghee on the top of Bobbatlu for extra taste,while serving.
