Flat sweetbread, Hurnada holige is sweet dish in most parts of India, mainly in states of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and Gujarat. This sweet main ingredients are jaggery (uncentrifuged sugar), lentils (tur dal) and Maida. This sweet is identified during the festival Ugadi, the most precious, new year day every year. I made the same last week on Ugadi day and enjoyed eating with all my friends in South Africa.
