Hayagreeva Maddi

Hayagreeva Maddi is a traditional Udupi recipe which is offered to Lord Hayagreeva as "naivedyam" or "prasadham" (offering). It is delicious and healthy because its primary ingredients are channa dal and jaggery. It's quite similar to the filling used for purina poli except for the texture. Here, the channa dal is not mashed.  

Enjoy this healthy dessert and let me know if you can think of any similar recipes using jaggery.
