| Karjikai |
"Karjikai" also known as "Kai Kadubu" or "Karigadubu" is a sweet dish made with coconut and jaggery filling.
This dish is part of festivals like "Bheemana Amavasya" and "Ganesh Chaturthi". It is customary to offer 21 pieces of Karjikai to Lord Ganesha during the festival. Kids enjoy the festivities and merrily sing the song : "Ganesha banda, kai kadubu tinda, chikka kereli bidda, dodda kereli edda" !!
Alternatively, this dish can be prepared with a filling of powdered roasted bengal gram, powdered sugar and copra.
