** During childhood “Holi” meant Amitabhji singing “Ranga Barase Bheege Chunarwali Ranga Barase” from the famous movie “Silsila”. Holi was brought to light and spread all over the country with this beautiful song enchantingly acted by Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha. Nobody could have played the role better than these two best actors till date. In my home town during my childhood, holi was not something celebrated and I really do not know much about it. Ubbati the traditional dish so famous in the Northern parts of the country which is called Puran Poli, was prepared in the name of Ubbati by Konkani Saraswats during Diwali festival and it was only after marriage I came across the tradition of preparing puran poli for holi and offering it to Agni, the lighted fire with collection of a heap of wood etc. I will not write much on this topic as personally I do not know much except that what I watched in movies but, yes definitely a much enjoyed festival in the northern parts wherein the next day people play with colored water, drenching each other in it.
** Coming to the "Ubbati/ Puran Poli / Obbattu/ Holige" part there are many varieties in which you can prepare this delicious sweet roti and I myself to date have prepared around 8-10 of which I have only 5 in record. Again, I have tried a samosa with the sweet filling and that was really wonderful in taste and my friends children loved those small sweet patti samosas very much. I written in detail about these dishes in each of the puran poli links given below, so will not repeat the same again. This post was made as a collection of those which I had prepared, for easy access in search and for sharing purpose. You can choose that variety which you would like to prepare and relish in your home, though all of them are equally tasty. Always do try out various options, getting out of the routine mold of preparing dishes in same old method. By including new varieties you will not only enjoy preparing them but so will your family relishing something new each time. I will definitely be posting many more types of Ubbati as and when I prepare and will update the same here too.
