Fried sweet dumplings (kadubu) step-by-step recipe with photos.
Kadubu is deep-fried sweet dumplings with a sweet filling. It is a mandatory food during Ganesha Chaturthi. There are two types of filling that goes in them – one is hoorna (chana dal, jaggery and coconut) and the other one is dried coconut. I have shared the recipe with coconut filling earlier. In this recipe, I am using hoorna as the filling.
The hoorna stuffing is prepared the same way it is prepared for holige. You can find the fail-proof recipe for holige here.
Traditionally, these fried sweet dumplings (kadubu) are served with ghee. A small dent is created in the center of the kadubu and ghee is poured into it. Make this for your next celebration and enjoy.
