Forget sweet Puran Poli for a second—Karnataka’s traditional culinary treasure is entirely savoury!
Meet the legendary Bili Holige ( or should we call it as kempu holige as ours is red in colour), a soft, delicate, paper-thin flatbread that feels like a cloud on your plate.
Steamed sprouted red rice flour dough is hidden inside. The spiced rice dough is encased in a super-stretchy, thin outer layer of maida, then rolled thin and lightly roasted without browning too much. It stays incredibly soft for hours!.
🍽️ The Ultimate Pairings
To elevate this breakfast or wedding-feast classic, pair it with:
Mango Seekarni: Sweet, luscious thick mango pulp for a mind-blowing sweet-and-savoury contrast during the summer.
Spicy Coconut Chutney: Perfect for a quick, fiery morning kick.
Hitikida Bele Saaru: Savoury field bean curry popular in Karnataka.
