Pesarapappu Burelu | Pesara Purnam burela | Poornam boorelu | Pesarapappu Purnalu | Poli Poornam Boorelu | Poli boorelu | Polem Burelu - Poornam Burelu are specially made during festivals and religious ceremonies in Andhra Pradesh and Rayalaseema regions. No auspicious occasions are complete without making these Poornam Burelu.

These are called "Boorelu" in Telugu. Generally these are made with raw and cooked Uraddal, added Jaggery and made into small balls and then dipped in Uraddal batter and fried till they turn Golden brown. Stuffing is almost similar to sweet chapati or Bobbatlu.But this Urad dal Sweet Balls stuffing is completely different.Its taste and preparation is also different.These stay crispy for a longer time.You can follow the tips which I recommend.

Tips

  1. Traditional way of making them is to dip them in Dosa batter.They taste good when they are hot but become soft after cooling down and lose their taste.

  2. Using Rice flour soaked for an hour in water and then adding it to the smoothly ground Uraddal batter gives balls which will remain fresh and crispy for hours together.

  3. Keep adding water to the batter from time to time so that its consistency remains loose and doesn't get a thick layer around the balls. Check it by dipping your finger into the batter.

Filling:

1.Steam cook the Moongdal and crush it into Rava after it gets completely cool.

  1. pour the moongdal rava slowly into the Jaggery syrup, stirring continuously, so that it will be lump free and uniformly sweet.

Perfect Measurements:

  1. Whatever quantity you make, Rice flour is always double the amount of Uraddal used. Remaining ingredients - Moongdal, Jaggery, grated Raw Coconut will be equal to the Rice flour.

    Nice recipe, but Bengal gram is Channa dal. I think for the “wrapper”, you used Black gram/Urad dal, but the recipe wrongly mentions it as Bengal gram.
