Recipe by Lilly Suares
Ingredients:
1 cup jackfruit (de-seeded)
1 cup raw rice/surai tandu
1 piece of jaggery (optional)
1/4 tsp pepper powder (or 3-4 pepper corns)
teak leaves (for color and fragrance)
pinch of salt
oil for deep frying
Steps:
- Wash and soak the rice for 3 hours
- Completely drain the rice and grind it along with the jackfruit pieces, jaggery, salt and pepper powder to a fine paste without using water. The batter should be dry-ish (like dosa batter).
- Place the batter in the teak leaves and wrap it.
- Heat sufficient water in a steamer and bring water to a rolling boil.
- Place the patholis in and steam for 20 minutes.
- The color of the leaves will change from deep green to brown or purplish brown once done. The patholis will also have this color.
- Remove from the steamer, allow it to cool and cut.
- ENJOY!
