How To Steam Jackfruit Idli?
- Traditionally, kudchempe paan or teak leaf is used to steam jackfruit idlis. But this leaf is not available everywhere. So you can cook the batter in jackfruit leaf, banana leaf, turmeric leaf, or simply in your idli mold or stand. Irrespective of what you choose to steam these idlis in, I assure you they taste good.
- Grease the idli molds with ghee. Fill the ¾th portion of the mold with batter.
- Place the idli molds or khotto kadubu (idlis in jackfruit leaf molds) in a steamer and steam on a medium flame for 15 minutes or until the back of a spoon inserted at the center of the steamed idlis comes out clean. Check out the video of preparing ponsa idli.
Notes
- You can make these idlis even with idli rava or raw rice instead of semolina (sooji rava). If you are using idli rava, follow the same method and amounts described above. Just soak the idli rava initially for 15 minutes. If you are making with raw rice, use the same amount as semolina, but just soak the rice for 1 hour and then grind it along with jackfruit.
- You can make this idli more flavorful by adding cardamom powder, roasted cashews, almonds, or coconut bits.
