Method: at first make Kanaka using the ingredients shown above. Mix everything together by adding water and make a slightly thin dough. Apply oil on top cover and rest for 1 to 2 hours. Work on the dough after resting by adding a little oil knead well for another 5 to 10 minutes so that it becomes very thin and very soft as shown in the video.

How to prepare Hoorna: at first cut carrots into small chunks and steam cook for 5 to 10 minutes. Grind it along with a cup of fresh coconut or dry coconut and a few cardamom to a fine paste. Grind it by adding water to make a smooth paste.

Now add in required quantity of jaggery I am adding three fourth cup of jaggery you can also add equal quantity of sugar to this. Cook again until the mixture turns slightly thick. Finally you can add in some desiccated coconut that is fine coconut powder. I am adding this to give a perfect texture to hoorana. In place of desiccated coconut you can also add badam powder or slightly roasted chiroti rava or Jamun mix etc. Once this hoorana cools down Make medium lemon size balls.
Take equal portion of Kanaka and then spread it on your palm stuff in the hoorana and then close it from all sides to make a round ball again. Roll it over a oiled parchment paper or holige paper or banana leaf to a thin round holige. cook on hot tawa on both sides by applying oil or ghee. Do not stack them over soon after making, spread separately for a while and store in a container.
Enjoy delicious carrot Holige with ghee on this festival day.
