Jackfruit Idli

Preparation for 2

After a long time I got some jackfruit to eat, every time we eat and enjoy the fruit but this time I thought of doing traditional idlis out of it. So let me begin with what ingredients required and how to prepare this sweet idli from jackfruit.

Main Ingredient:

Jackfruit

Recipe Ingredients:

Rice: 1 Big Glass

Jaggary: 1/2 of Big Glass (since jackfruit was too sweet and juicy I used less jaggary )

Coconut: Grated 2 Big Cups

Pepper powder: 2 pinch

Salt: as per required

Ghee or Oil: Grease idli holder

Method to Prepare:

Wash & Soak the Rice for 3- 4 hour

Grind it coarsely in a blender by adding rice, jackfruit and coconut together.

Now add salt and grated Jaggary to the batter.

Mix well with sprinkling pepper powder to the batter.

Grease the idli holder or pan well and fill each of them with 3/4th full of batter

Steam cook idlis on medium flame for about 15 minutes or until done.

Use a butter knife to remove the idlis

“Aromatic delicious idlis are ready to eat. You can enjoy them with butter or Ghee.”

Hope you all like it
