It is festival time and it's time to blog few creative twists to traditional  recipes. Here is one among them. Thanks to amma and ajji for teaching this.
 
Ingredients:
Sajjige - 1 bowl (left over or you can prepare fresh)
*Sajjige is also called Kesaribhath in Karnataka. Other names for the same dish are Kesari, Sheera, etc., Sajjige = Kesaribath-Color
All Purpose Flour (Maida) + Chiroti Rava- 1 tbsp + 1 cup
Salt- A pinch
Water
Oil
 
Method:  photo 045_zps20db7d6e.jpg
1. Mix maida with chiroti rava and a pinch of salt and mix to make a loose yet firm dough. Pour a 50ml oil on the maida flour and let it stand for 30 minutes.
2. Make lemon sized balls with sajjige.
3. Below is the collage of pictures :

4. Take a non-stick paper. Add a tsp of oil and spread it evenly with your fingers. Pinch the maida(all purpose flour) dough and spread it thin on the paper.
5. Place sajjige in the center. Pull the dough from all sides to the cener and lock the sajjige inside.

7. Transfer holige over to the pan and spread a tsp of oil on top of it. Fry well on both sides.
