Shenga Holige

Shenga holige is a north Karnataka dish. Shenga means Peanuts, so its Peanut holige.

We are a family of great liking for sweet-tasting foods. We have been almost following the restrictive lifestyle strictly but failed to social distance from pet pooja :-p.
So we had this ellu bella remaining from Sankranti and got bored of munching them. I thought of a plan to keep my little one occupied and also get over with the mixture. She was happy to separate the peanuts, jaggery and sesame from the mix and made shenga holige with this!

We declare that shenga holige is a healthy dessert free from any extra Oil and full of good cholesterol + Vit and minerals :). So pamper yourself with this irresistible Shenga holige rather than a handful of plain peanuts :))!!!!! Here we go.....

Makes - 
Ingredients

Peanuts roasted - 2 Cups
Sesame roasted - 1/2 Cup
Jaggery - 2 Cups
Cardamom powder - 1/2 tsp
Plain flour - 2 Cups
Chiroti Rave / fine semolina - 1/4 Cup
Salt - pinch
Hot Oil - 1 tsp
Water for mixing

Method
For the kanaka (dough)

  • In a large bowl, add the Plain flour, Chiroti rave, Salt, Oil, and mix well.
  • To this add the Water little by little and mix well to form a dough.
  • Let it rest for 3-4 hours.
For the hoorna (filling)
  • Grind Peanuts, Sesame, and Jaggery to a powder.
  • Place this mixture in a bowl. To this add the Cardamom powder and mix well.
  • Add a bit of hot water to the above mixture and mix well to form a dough. (Add the hot water at this stage only if required else just mix the powder and form a dough).
To make the holige
  • Take a small portion of the dough, flatten it a bit.
  • Take a handful of hoorna and stuff it in the flattened dough.
  • Pull the dough from the edges and cover it over the hoorna and make sure you seal it well.
  • Dust this in some flour and roll it gently into thin circle.
  • Place this on a hot tava and cook on both sides on low flame.
  • This doesnt need any Oil on the top as the nuts and sesame Oil is sufficient for cooking it.
  • Serve hot with ghee!



Indulgence at its best :)!!!!!!
