Kajjikayalu are normally made in half moon shapes. There are many ways to make this. You can even make these in the molds available.

To make the dough, take the flour, salt and ghee in a bowl. Mix well. Then slowly add water to knead into a stiff dough. If you want to get a crispy cover, the dough has to be stiff. Cover with thin cloth &soak 30 mints.

To make the fillings, grate the Copra or the Dried coconut. Grind fried gram dal into fine powder.grate jaggery,
Chop the cashew nuts into small pieces. Mix the grated coconut,putnala podi,
Greated jaggery, cashew nuts, sugar, poppy seeds and cardamom together. This will be a dry mixture.

Making the kajjikaya on the rolling board.

Once you are ready to roll out, divide the dough into small equal balls. Using the rolling pin, dust the balls, flatten them into small circles, like the puris.

Scoop a spoonful of the filling and place on the middle.draw aline on edges with water. so that the filling doesn't come out.
List one side of the dough, bring to the other side and press well.
Making it in your palm.

Once you roll out the cover, take it on to your left palm. Hold it while you scoop in the fillings. Now gently cover both open sides. You will end up having a half moon.

Once you have all the Kajjikaya filled and ready, Heat the oil for deep frying. Once the oil is hot, simmer and gently drop in the kajjikaya. Fry in low flame, only then the outer layer will be crispy.
