Holige (Flatbread with Sweet Raisin Filling) image

Authentic holige is a dessert made in Karnataka, South India, during festivals and special occasions. This delicacy is traditionally made with a dough filled with either bele hoorna (dal stuffing) or kobbari hoorna (coconut stuffing). I tried and tested this raisin (drakshi hoorna) holige recipe and it was a big hit during a recent festival celebration at home. It tastes heavenly with a side of almond-flavored milk (badam milk).

Time 2h34m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup fine semolina flour
¾ cup whole wheat flour
¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
⅛ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
¾ cup water, or as needed
¾ cup raisins
5 dates, pitted
½ cup white sugar
½ cup shredded coconut
2 tablespoons mixed nuts (cashews, almonds, walnuts)
1 tablespoon poppy seeds, toasted
¼ teaspoon freshly ground cardamom, or more to taste
¼ teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
¼ cup whole wheat flour
¼ cup ghee (clarified butter)

Steps:

  • Combine semolina flour, 3/4 cup whole wheat flour, turmeric, and salt in a large bowl. Mix in 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Stir in enough water to form a soft dough.
  • Brush remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over dough. Cover dough with a damp cloth or paper towel and let rest, 2 to 3 hours.
  • Process raisins and dates into a paste in a food processor or high-powdered blender. Add sugar, coconut, mixed nuts, poppy seeds, cardamom, and nutmeg; blend until thoroughly combined.
  • Roll raisin and date mixture into golfball-sized balls.
  • Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Sprinkle 1/4 cup whole wheat flour over a flat work surface. Roll 1 ball of dough out into a thin circle; place 1 raisin and date ball in the center. Wrap dough around the ball and pinch to seal. Roll back out into a circle. Repeat with remaining dough and raisin and date balls.
  • Melt 1 teaspoon of ghee in a large skillet. Cook dough until brown spots appear, about 2 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon ghee to the top of the dough and flip. Cook until brown spots appear on the second side, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate. Repeat with remaining dough.

This holige flatbread was a bit of a let down. The flatbread was dry and the raisin filling was too sweet. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

I tried this holige flatbread recipe and it was just okay. The flatbread was a little dry and the raisin filling was not very flavorful. I wouldn't make this again.

This holige flatbread was a disappointment. The flatbread was tough and chewy, and the raisin filling was too sweet. I would not recommend this recipe.

I love this holige flatbread recipe! The flatbread is soft and fluffy, and the raisin filling is sweet and gooey. I always make a double batch because they disappear so quickly.

This holige flatbread was a hit with my family! The sweet raisin filling was perfectly balanced by the savory flatbread, and the whole thing was cooked to perfection. I'll definitely be making this again.
