5. Once the carrots are cooled completely, grind this to a fine paste( do not add water)
6. add the paste to sugar, coconut mix.
7. Mix it well. Consistency of the filling is we should be able to make a ball. if you cannot make the ball, grind little more kobri(dried coconut and add)

To make the Obbattu:

1. After 3 + hours – Knead the dough again.
2. If you are using banana leaf -warm the banana leaf and grease it,
3. you can divide the dough and filling into 10 to 12 equal parts, or just take a desired amount of dough and filling as shown and follow the procedure
4. Grease the palm and the fingers, take the dough ,flatten it as shown, place the filling ball in the center, cover it with the dough, squeeze out any extra dough .
5. place it on the greased leaf, pat it or roll into circle using rolling pin

8. after few seconds, flip the holige, let it cook on other side as well
9. Then remove it and place it on a plate
10. If you don’t have banana leaves you can use plastic sheet and flour to make the obbattu.
11. dip in the flour as and when needed and place it on a sheet of plastic. and roll
12. follow the same procedure to cook the holige
13. follow the same procedure to make more hoLige. I feel it is easier to roll the holige using flour.
