• You can add a pinch of turmeric powder to the lentil filling for a vibrant color.
• Brushing the holige with ghee while cooking enhances the flavor and gives it a nice golden crust.

Storage and Serving

• Holige is best served warm and fresh.
• If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
• Reheat the holige in a microwave or on a griddle before serving to restore their softness.
