Kayi Holige

Posted on October 1st, 2007 by Nirupama Sriram Share

A sweet bread stuffed with Coconut mixture.

Ingredients:
For the outer covering:
½ Cup Maida
½ Cup Rawa
½ tsp Turmeric Powder
For the stuffing:
4 Cups of Coconut, Grated
2 Cups Jaggery, Grated
1tsp Cardamom Powder
A little Milk

Method:
For the stuffing:
Add the Coconut and Jaggery in a thick-bottomed pan. Add Milk. Keep stirring on a low flame until all the moisture evaporates and the color of the mixture becomes a bit dark. Remove and divide it into lemon-sized balls.

For the outer covering:
Mix Maida and Rawa with water, Turmeric and 2 tsp Oil and knead to a soft dough. Knead well using Oil. Divide into balls slightly bigger than the hurana (stuffing) balls.

Grease your palms and flatten a dough ball on the left hand. Take a ball of hurana (stuffing) and stuff it in the dough ball, deftly turning your left hand over the hurana and expanding the dough to completely cover the hurana ball with the dough.

Now on a greased plantain leaf flatten this stuffed ball into a circle.

Heat a griddle and grease it. Take the plantain leaf along with the holige (bread) and flop it on the tava with the holige facing down. Slowly remove the plantain leaf and sprinkle Oil and roast on both sides till done.
