Steps

1

In a wide plate add maida,wheat flour,salt and turmeric powder.
2

Add around 1/3 cup water and knead the dough.Add water as required.Then add 5 to 6 tbsp oil and knead the dough.Knead the dough until all oil is absorbed and dough becomes soft.It takes about 7 to 10minutes. The dough should be very soft.
3

Cover it and keep aside for about 45 minutes.
4

In a pressure cooker add 1 cup chanadal and 3 cups of water.Pressure cook for 5 to 6 whistles.
5

After the pressure settles down open the cooker and take little chanadal and check it.If it gets mashed then it is cooked.
6

In a stainer drain the cooked dal.
7

Now in a kadai or thick bottom pan add chanadal and crushed jaggery.Now on medium flame cook till Jaggery is dissolved and mixed with dal.On low flame cook till the mixture gets nicely thickened.Add cardamom powder and jaiphal powder.Mix well.
8

Remove it from the stove.Here I have used Hoorana or Puran Yantra/ machine.
9

While the mixture is hot at that time itself add little by little mixture to this yantra and move it in circular direction.Place a vessel at the bottom of this yantra so that the hoorana or stuffing is collected in that vessel. If it is done in this method the stuffing comes very nicely.
10

If you dont have this yantra then you grind it in mixer jar.No water should be added to it and grind it very well so that all chanadal gets grinded well.
11

Finish doing all the mixture using yantra.
12

Make lemon sized balls of this hoorna or stuffing.Divide the dough into equal portions or like lemon sized balls.
13

On a greased polythene cover take a dough ball and dust it with little flour.Roll it to a small poori like circle.Place a hoorna ball or stuffing in the centre. Bring the ends together slowly and make a modak like shape.Gently press it.
14

Dust with little flour and roll it to make a thin holige.
15

Heat the tawa.Gently transfer the holige on it.
16

After you see bubbles over it just flip it.Pour some ghee over it.You can see slightly brown dots over it then it is done.
17

Serve the mouthwatering hot holige with ghee over it.
