Jackfruit Idly Ingredients: Ripe jackfruit – 2 cups, de-seed the pods and separate the flesh Rice – 2 cups Freshly grated coconut – 1 cup Crushed Jaggery – 4 tbsp Green cardamom powder – ¼ tsp Fresh banana leaf – 1 big size Idly maker Instructions: Wash the rice and rinse well to get rid of any dirt or dust. Soak the rice in water for about 6 to 8 hours (or) overnight. Add soaked rice into the blender and blend into coarse powder. Now, add ripe jackfruit flesh and blend into fine paste. There is no need to add any water while blending as the liquid from the juicy flesh is enough to grind. While blending taste the batter and adjust the sweetness accordingly by adding more ripened flesh. TIP 1: Make sure that the batter is thick like idly batter and not runny. Take a small bowl. Add grated coconut, crushed jaggery and cardamom powder into it. Mix well and set it aside. Clean the banana leaf and cut it into palm sized rectangles. Pick the cut banana leaf and place it over the palm. ...
