Ellu Holige | Til Poli from Udupi

Ellu Holige is a sweet flatbread made with Sesame, jaggery filling stuffed in a Maida flatbread. It is another variant of the Puran Poli where the stuffing is normally chana dal.

While Ellu Holige or Til Poli is quite popular in the southern states, I chose to use this version as I wasn’t able to find a proper E and this Ellu Holige, a popular Udupi dish suited the requirement.

I was particular about getting recipes from all Indian States when I wasn’t able to follow this rule, I wanted to make sure that I at least try different regions in a state. So this one is popular in the Udupi Cuisine and I was very happy to use this.

This was one of those alphabets for which I couldn’t find multiple options. I approached the set with going by the ingredients and I targetted Til in the beginning since I couldn’t find anything else, I settled with it. The Til Poli turned out so good, I mostly make Dal Poli and sometimes coconut poli. So this version of til and coconut was a good choice.

E was Ellu Holige in the A to Z Flatbreads and More, where I am doing AtoZ Indian Flatbreads. If you want to what’s E in AtoZ Dosa Varieties, check out.
