Holige (Flatbread With Sweet Raisin Filling)
- Dough:
- 1 cup fine semolina flour
- 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 3/4 cup water, or as needed
- Filling:
- 3/4 cup raisins
- 5 dates, pitted
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons mixed nuts (cashews, almonds, walnuts)
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds, toasted
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground cardamom, or more to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg (optional)
- 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup ghee (clarified butter)
- Combine semolina flour, 3/4 cup whole wheat flour, turmeric, and salt in a large bowl. Mix in 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Stir in enough water to form a soft dough.
- Brush remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over dough. Cover dough with a damp cloth or paper towel and let rest, 2 to 3 hours.
- Process raisins and dates into a paste in a food processor or high-powdered blender. Add sugar, coconut, mixed nuts, poppy seeds, cardamom, and nutmeg; blend until thoroughly combined.
- Roll raisin and date mixture into golfball-sized balls.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Sprinkle 1/4 cup whole wheat flour over a flat work surface. Roll 1 ball of dough out into a thin circle; place 1 raisin and date ball in the center. Wrap dough around the ball and pinch to seal. Roll back out into a circle. Repeat with remaining dough and raisin and date balls.
- Melt 1 teaspoon of ghee in a large skillet. Cook dough until brown spots appear, about 2 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon ghee to the top of the dough and flip. Cook until brown spots appear on the second side, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate. Repeat with remaining dough.
