Illai Adai (Steamed Rice Pancakes With Sweet Coconut Filling)

 

Ingredients

For outer covering

Rice Flour: 1 cup

Oil: 1 tsp

Salt: 1 pinch

Water: 2 cups

For Filling

Coconut: 1 cup grated

Jaggery/ gud: ¾ cup

Jackfruit (ripe): ½ cup

Cardamom powder: 1 pinch

Ghee: 1 tsp

Procedure:

Take a pan and melt some ghee in it.  Now add the chopped jackfruit pieces and allow them to cook for some time.

Now add the grated jaggery , and allow it to melt. Add the coconut and stir well. Add a pinch of cardamom powder. Cool and set aside. 

To make the outer covering, dry roast the rice flour until it is nice and fragrant. In another pan, boil the 2 cups of water, add to it some oil and salt.

Once boiled, add the roasted rice flour and mix gently. Make a soft dough, while the mixture is still warm. 

In order to make the stuffing, take cleaned banana leaves and grease them with ghee. Now gently place a small ball of the rice dough and gently flatten it to make a round shape.

Add the coconut and jackfruit stuffing on one half of the rice, cover and gently fold the other half over it. Press the edges to seal it properly. 

Repeat with rest of the rice dough with filling.

To steam the rice parcels, boil some water in a steamer. Add the banana leaves with  stuffed rice in them.

Steam for about 3-4 minutes. Serve warm as a dessert.
