Ingredients :
- Chana dal 4 cups
- Tur dal 1/4 cup
- Pounded jaggery 4 1/4 cups
- Elahchi powder 1 tablespoon
- Atta 4 cups
- Chiroti rava 1/4 cup
- Ghee 2 tablespoon
- Salt 1/2 teaspoon
- Groundnut oil for frying
Procedure :
- Mix the atta with a spoonful of groundnut oil and a pint of salt, knead well and let it rest for 15 minutes.
- Cook the Chana dal and Tur dal with lots of water up to 5 whistles so that the daals are cooked soft.
- Once the cooker is cooled down, drain the water from the daals and set aside to prepare hoorana kattu Saaru.
- In a thick bottomed kadai, heat the ghee.
- Pour in the jaggery powder, cooked dals and elaichi powder and mix well.
- Keep stirring the hoorana.
- As you keep stirring and it gets cooked, the hoorana gets thick.
- Once it turns fully thick, switch off the gas and let it cool.
- Once the hoorana is cold, grind it into a fine paste.
- Make small balls from the hoorana.
- Roll the atta into small pooris.
- In the kadubu maker, place a poori, on that a ball of hoorana and press well.
- Please watch the video to see how it's done.
- Take out the pressed kadubu and set aside.
- Press all the kadubus like this.
- Take care to see that the edges are pressed properly otherwise while frying the hoorana may come out and spoil the oil and also the kadubu will lose its sweetness.
- Now heat the groundnut oil in a thick bottomed kadai.
- Once the oil heats up, fry the kadubus on medium heat till golden brown.
- Enjoy the hot kadubus with dollops of ghee.
PS : When we were young, our grandpa used to advise that we should eat karigadubu "hettuppa", meaning with unmelted desi ghee. This way we can accommodate more ghee!
Till this day I studiously follow his advice!!!
Some people add pieces of dry fruits, coconuts and rock sugar in the horana of Masti Kadubu.
But I personally prefer not to add any of them because I don't like the hard ingredients in the kadubu and spoil the fun of soft, melting in your mouth hoorana!
