Ingredients
  • Roasted rice flour – 1 cup
  • Hot water – as required
  • Salt – a pinch
  • Banana leaf – 4 to 5 pieces
  • Grated coconut – 1 cup
  • Grated jaggery – ½ cup
  • Cardamom powder – a pinch (optional)
  • Oil – a little
Instructions
  1. Mix rice flour, water and salt together and make soft dough similar to chapati dough. Take care not to make it watery.
  2. Mix together grated coconut, grated jaggery and cardamom powder to form the filling. Keep it aside.
  3. Take a piece of banana leaf and dab a little oil all over the upper side of the leaf. (this step is optional)
  4. Make lemon sized balls with the dough. Keep a dough ball in the center of the banana leaf and carefully flatten it to a thin layer using your fingertips.
  5. Now take the coconut-jaggery filling and spread it over the rice layer.
  6. Fold the leaf and press it well in all sides so that the fillings don’t spill out.
  7. Steam the ela ada using a steamer or idli cooker for 10 to 15 minutes.
  8. Your ela ada is ready.
  9. Remove the banana leaf and serve with a cup of warm milk.
