Ingredients;
For stuffing/ hoorana

2 cups grated carrot ( thinly grated)
1 cup jaggery grated
2 pods of elachi or cardamom
1/4 cup grated fresh coconut ( thinly grated)
1 tbsp of khus khus or gasa gase
1tbsp ghee for frying carrot.

For outer cover; kanikya ;

2cups of wheat flour
1 cup maida flour ( all purpose flour)
1 tbsp ghee
Pinch of salt
Pinch of turmeric powder
Water as needed for making dough

Method;

A. Preparation of kanikya/outer cover.

1. In a wide bowl take all things given under preparation of outer cover & mix in your hands then add little by little water & start kneading & make into soft dough like chapathi dough & it should be little
more softer than chapathi dough & cover & keep aside.

B. Preparation of hoorana/stuffing.

1. In a pan heat ghee & fry khus khus & add grated carrot & fry until it is cooked & changes its colour.

2. Then add grated jaggery ,cardamom & coconut & mix,jaggery starts melting so mix the mixture until it comes together like a dough form.then remove & live to cool.

3. Take a rolling board & pin & make equal balls of dough & stuffing,

4. Take one ball of dough & roll into small disc & keep the stuffing in the middle & cover like modak
 all the sides tightly.

5. Dip in dry wheat flour & roll like chapathi.( here it is little difficult & little tricky because stuffing may come out little so roll bit careful)

6. Heat tava & cook rolled obbattu both the sides by brushing ghee till dark spots appears.

7. Serve hot with putting ghee on top ( optional)

Another method;

1. Cook carrot & grind ( after cool) with other ingredients

2. In a pan heat little ghee & pour the grinded mixture & mix until it forms like a dough or comes together .( here fry seprately khus khus with little ghee & then add grinded mixture & start mixing)

3. All other things are same.

Note; 1. You can use sugar instead of jaggery.
