Ugadi means Hindus New Year which is celebarated with a combination of Neem and Jaggery . Neem and Jaggery symbolises the Sorrow and Happiness of the Life. there is a famous Kannada saying which goes as follows:

"Ugaugadi Kaledaru Ugadi Marali Barutide

Hosa Varushada Hosa Harushada Hosatu Hosatu Tarutide...."

Here is a special authentic dish for the event.My first try on the obbattu. On this occassion I am posting 100th Post.

Ingredients

For the Chapati

1 cup whwat flour
1 cup All Purpose Flour
pinch of salt
2 tbsp oil/ghee
1/2 cup milk

For Stuffing

2 cups of Chana Dal
1 cup grated jaggery
1 cup sugar
1 tsp cardamom powder
1tsp nutmeg powder

Method

Sieve all purpose flour and the wheat flour and add to this salt, oil and by adding milk and water bring it into dough consistency. Kneed properly and keep it aside for an hour.

Mean time pressure cook chana dal for 4 whistle in cooker and once it is cool down take it in a pan and add sugar and jaggery and bring it into one single mass.Keep the mixture in a plate cool down once it is completley cool down add the mixture along with the nutmeg and cardamom powder to the blender and make a fine paste.

The paste should be stiff like dough consistency. If you are not able to make balls from it then you can heat it as it is in low flame till it forms a single mass and you are able to make balls from it.

Once this is done you take the already made chapati dough and make equal sized balls slightly bigger than the chapati. Roll it lilttle bit and then add the slighly bigger than lemon size chanadal mix and roll a thin obbattu.(You can make thick one also but i like it thin so made it thin).

Heat the tava/griddle and put the obbattu into it and roast it with ghee till crisp. Serve hot with ghee.

You can store in the fridge for longer days.
