1 tablespoon	ghee
1/4 teaspoon	salt

Instructions

1. 1 In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and ghee.
2. 2 Gradually add water to the flour mixture and knead into a soft dough. Cover and let it rest for 20 minutes.
3. 3 In a pan, add grated coconut and jaggery. Cook on low heat until the jaggery melts and blends with the coconut.

7. 7 Fold the edges of the dough over the filling and seal it. Gently roll it into a ball and flatten it into a disc.
8. 8 Heat a tawa or skillet over medium heat and grease it lightly with oil.
9. 9 Place the flattened disc on the tawa and cook until golden brown spots appear on both sides.
10. 10 Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.
11. 11 Serve the Kayi Holige warm.
