This is a favourite Kerala dish made with rice flour. It is easy on stomach and as a twelve year old girl, it was my duty to make this every day for my baby brother’s breakfast. That time it was only grated coconut and sugar for the filling. Now I add sliced bananas too. But today I added finely cut jackfruit bulbs. When it was being cooked, there was this sweet aroma filling up the whole kitchen!
Ingredients
2 cups rice flour, for 5 adas
2 cups water, boiled
Salt to taste
I cup grated coconut
½ cup grated jaggery
¼ tsp cardamom powder
½ cup finely chopped ripe jackfruit bulbs
5 Pieces of plantain leaf or 5 turmeric leaves
Instruction
For the cover
- Bring the water to a boil and add this to the flour and salt in a pan. Mix with a ladle, close and keep aside for ten minutes.
- Meanwhile ready the filling by mixing the grated coconut with jaggery, cardamom powder and chopped jackfruit.
- Knead the rice flour, sprinkle more water if needed, into smooth dough. Divide into five balls.
- Take one leaf and spread one ball of dough into round, moistening the fingers in between.
- Spread the filling on half the portion and fold the leaf into half, pressing down the edges to stick the dough together.
- Now you can steam them in a pressure cooker for ten minutes or cook them on a thava as shown HERE
- Enjoy as it is, or with ghee!
