Jackfruit Idly

I tried my mom's receipe of Jackfruit idly and created this delectable creation. This was my favorite dish and now my girls are crazy for this dish.

Ingredients:

Jackfruit peeled - 1 cup
Long grain rice soaked - 2 cups
Jaggery or brown sugar - 1/2 cup
Fresh or dry coconut - 1/4 cup
Salt - a pinch
Banana leaves to steam

Method:

1. Blend the soaked rice with jackfruit, jaggery/brown sugar, salt, and coconut to coarse consistency.
2. Cut banana leaves to square pieces.
3. Pour the dough in the banana leaves and fold it.
4. Steam it for 15 minutes till done.




This recipe goes to Gayathri's "Walking thorugh Memory Lane Event".
