Ingredients : measuring cup 250 ml

For the outer layer :

Whole wheat flour – 1&1/2 cup (sifted in a sieve with very tiny wholes)
Chiroti rave – 1/2 cup
Rice flour – 1/2 tbsp
Ghee – 1&1/2 tsp
Turmeric powder – 1/4 tsp
Salt – a pinch
Oil – to soak the dough & to roast the holige

For stuffing :

Cooked & mashed sweet potato – 2 cups
Grated fresh coconut – 1 cup
Jaggery – 2 cups
roasted sesame seeds – 1&1/2 tbsp
Black pepper powder – 1/4 tsp
LDEN powder – 1/4 tsp (LDEN = equal quantity of laung, dalchini, elaichi and nutmeg powdered together)

PROCEDURE :

Put rice flour, ghee and turmeric powder in a wide bowl or Parat and rub them together with your fingers till soft like butter
Now add in sifted whole wheat flour, chiroti rave and salt, combine them well and knead into a soft but firm dough, soak it in the oil for minimum 2 hours
Grind grated fresh coconut into smooth paste without adding water
Now in a pan put mashed sweet potato, ground coconut and jaggery and cook till all the moisture evaporates and the mixture comes as a whole leaving the edges of the pan

Now add in sesame seeds, black pepper powder and LDEN powder, combine well and remove from the fire and allow it to cool

Now take the rested dough out of the oil and knead again very well till it becomes soft ( 6 to 8 minutes )
Meanwhile heat the tawa/griddle to cook the Holige
Pinch a portion of the dough, flatten it little with your hands, place the stuffing in the centre, now bring together all the sides in the centre and seal it properly ( like we do while making stuffed parathas )
