What makes it different

The filling is kova, not coconut and not dal, so the taste is milky rather than sweet-spiced. It is closer to a milk sweet in pastry form than to a gujiya. Some homes call it kova kajjikayalu, though that usually means the folded half-moon version.

Why it does not turn up abroad

Kova is fresh milk solids. It does not survive long shelf life, so importers skip it. The only realistic way to eat it outside India is to have it made and flown out quickly.
