Shenga Holige

Groundnut-stuffed sweet flatbread — roasted, skinned peanuts ground with jaggery, dry coconut, and cardamom into a crumbly, sandy filling, wrapped in a soft maida pastry and griddle-cooked with a generous smear of ghee until golden and slightly blistered. The distinctly North Karnataka holige: nuttier, crumblier, and more peanut-forward than the chana dal-stuffed obbattu of South Karnataka.
