Ingredients:

Raw rice flour                  : 2 cups
Jaggery                            : 1/2 kg
Grated coconut                : 2 cups
Cardamom pdr                : 1/4 tsp
 (optional)
Banana leaves
Ghee                                : 1 tbsp              




Method:

Mix the rice flour with boiled water to make a thick batter and keep aside.



Boil the jaggery with little water. When it dissolves remove from fire and filter it to remove the impurities. 

Bring back to fire and boil again till it becomes a thick syrup, add the grated coconut and mix it and keep it for some more time in the fire, stirring it, till the mixture becomes thick.  Remove from fire and keep aside.



  Take small pieces of banana leaf without the middle stalk and smear ghee on it. Take a portion of the rice batter( large lemon size ball) place it on the leaf and flatten it with fingers.




Now spread a spoonful of coconut mixture on one side of the leaf and fold it.


     














Now steam it in a steamer or idli cooker for 5 mins. If the leaf comes out clean when you open it, it is cooked perfectly, otherwise keep it for some more time.

This is a delicious snack!!


Variation: Instead of jaggery you can make it with sugar and it is easy. Just mix 1/2 cup of sugar with the grated coconut and add cardamom pdr to this.  spread this mixture on the rice batter and fold the
  leaf and steam it. This also will be tasty!!
