Jackfruit Sweet Idlis

 Few points to note while making Jackfruit Idli :

  1. If you don’t have rice rava, you can make it at home like this: Soak raw rice for 1 hour. Drain water completely. Spread it on a cloth or paper towel for about 10 mins,so that the grains become dry. Grind the rice in a mixer to a coarse consistency.Home made rice rava is ready..
  2. Instead of rice rava you can do this with normal upma rava too. Procedure is same . just roast rava lightly and add.
  3. The batter of idli should not be watery. Else it will be mushy and soggy .
  4. Don’t cut on the fruit quantity or coconut quantity . Else idlis will turn hard . In case you don’t have sufficient fruit , increase coconut quantity .
  5. If you still want to cut the coconut quantity and don’ t have adequate fruit.. you can add a pinch of baking soda to the batter . Your idlis will turn soft .
  6. When idlis are done, remove the lid and set aside for 5 minutes so that you can de mould the idlis easily without breaking it.

In a mixer, grind jackfruit pieces , coconut , jaggery, cardamom and nutmeg . No need to add any water. Jaggery will leave water as you grind.

Grind to a smooth puree. Transfer the ground jackfruit puree into a mixing bowl . Add rice rava, finely chopped jackfruit and salt to it . Mix everything well . Add around 1/2 cup water to the blender jar , to remove the ground paste around and add it to the mixing bowl  Allow the mixture to sit for 1-2 hour so that rice rava soaks well in the mix. After the mentioned time , check the consistency of the batter . It should be little thicker than idli batter No fermentation required. Heat water in a steamer.Grease idli molds with ghee .Pour the batter into idli stand. Steam for 15 mins on medium flame.Prick a tooth pick,if it comes clean ... its done.Allow it to cool a bit and remove from molds using a spoon or knife. Sweet Jackfruit Idlis are ready to serve.
