Ingredients for Filling: # Channa Dal 1 Cup # Water 1 Cup # Cardamom Powder 1 Teaspoon # Brown Sugar 1 1/2 Cup # Salt 1/4 Teaspoon Ingredients for the Covering Dough : # Water 1/4 Cup + 1 Tablespoon # Oil 2 Tablespoon + 1 Teaspoon # Salt 1 Pinch # Turmeric Powder 1/8 Teaspoon # All Purpose Flour(Maida) 1 Cup Method: To prepare the dough: Mix the first four ingredients. Then add this mixture to maida and knead well for 10 to 15 minutes to make the dough. Cover the dough in plastic wrap and keep it aside, at least for 2 hours before making Holige. To prepare the Filling: Soak the channa dal overnight in enough water. Remove the water and add 1 cup water and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook in the Pressure-cooker(1 whistle).As soon as you can open the lid, remove the cooked channa dal from the cooker. Add brown sugar, cardamom powder and blend to make a smooth mixture. Then put the mixture in a microwavable bowl or plate and cook for 12 minutes in the microwave at high power while stirring the mixture every 2-3 minutes(You can also cook the mixture on stove top in a thick bottomed vessel. Let it cool. Putting the filling inside the dough ball: Make balls (of ping pong ball size) from the filling mixture and (of marble size) the dough. Put the dough ball on your left palm and flatten it by pressing it with your right finger tips or by the heel of the right hand. When you have a circle of around 1 1/2" radius, put the bigger ball made of filling mixture in the middle of the circle. Pull the edge of the circle together. Now the circle should be fully covering the filling ball. If it has not covered fully, pull the dough slowly to cover. Then press together the edge. Rolling and Cooking: Put a teaspoon of rice flour on the working surface. Put the flattened, filled ball and start rolling evenly on all sides to make a circle of 2 1/2 " radius(You can use more flour while rolling if it starts sticking to the rolling pin). Then roast both the side of the rolled holige on a frying pan or skillet at medium heat. Let it cool on a plate before storing in an air-tight container. Holige is traditionally served with couple of teaspoons of melted ghee drizzled on it. In some places, sugar syrup is a must with the holige. |
