So for Makar Sankramana, Janmashtami and Shravan, you will find Shenga obbattu recipe. The other name you may call it is Kadlekai Obbattu. It is a flatbread prepared using peanuts and wheat flour for festive occasions.
An easy recipe peanut poli provides the much-needed heat and energy for the winters. Since these rotis can be stored for about a week at room temperature you can consider making them ahead.
I have some easy holige recipes here like the puran poli and Gul Poli. Gul poli recipe was what I made Sankranti in my place, regularly. Till we were introduced to these yummy sweetened ground nut stuffed pancakes.
Groundnuts or peanuts are healthy nuts and are part of our diet. You may like some of my recipes like shenga chikki, Peanut Jaggery Ladoo, Lasun Chutney or Garlic Chutney typically Sankranti recipes are celebrating a good harvest.

Frankly, I did not know about these groundnut-stuffed pancakes. Every time I got my cook to make gul poli she kept telling me about these Kadlekai Holige
Finally, I bit the bullet and got her to make them. We love these ground nut poli now and my friends and neighbours to wait for the Makar Sankranti season. You guessed right I have been asked when I will make these yummy-sweetened shenga holgi.
Holige like kai holige, sajji holige, huran holige, beld holige are common in Northen Karnataka.
Any Holige has 2 parts to it a covering and stuffing, in Kannada, we call it kanaka and hoorna.
The cover in any holige can vary from whole wheat flour, maida or all-purpose flour to fine Rava or semolina.
The covering will depend on the practice and tradition at your home. My mom used whole wheat flour while my Mon-in-law used maida. A combo of the 3 ingredients is also used.
