Sesame jaggery poli is one of the traditional sweet dish many of the South Indians prepare during every bhogi festival. You all know that Pongal, this famous harvest festival calls for 4 days celebration and the first day celebration starts with Bhogi festival, to celebrate this day my grandma makes usually poli, a kind of stuffed sweet flatbread prepared either with channadal filling or else with sesame jaggery filling. One of the delicious and our favourite poli always goes for channadal filled sweet poli though this sesame, jaggery, coconut filling is also our family favourite. Eventhough i make this nutritious flatbread often for neivedhayam or for evening snacks am yet to post it in my space.
When i prepared some sesame poli this time for bhogi, i couldnt stop myself to click few pictures just to post in my space.Coming to the filling, just dry roast the sesame seeds,grated coconut in simmer and grind as bit coarse mixture with grated jaggery, your filling is ready to roll inside a maida based dough for making this flatbread, how easy na. Am running third week of blogging marathon with Festival of the month for this week's theme. After a lipsmacking sweet pongal,crispy broccoli vadai, this healthy, nutritious poli goes to this week's theme.Check out the Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM#60.
