Poornam Boorelu (Tofu - Carrot - Coconut Boorelu )
About Poornam Boorelu (Tofu - Carrot - Coconut Boorelu )
Poornam Boorelu is a traditional and classic sweet of Andhra Pradesh, served during the festive time. To make it healthy , my mother changed the stuffing which makes it suitable for lactose intolerants and vegans as well. The tofu used here is gluten free, low calorie, contains no cholesterol and is an excellent source of protein, iron, and calcium. Kids love it too.
