Ilai Adai

Drain water from soaked raw rice

Start grinding in a grinder

When rice is about half done, add jaggery, coconut, jackfruit, continue grinding

Grind into a thick batter, the batter should neither be too smooth nor too coarse, consistency should be thick enough such that the batter will not run over

Wash banana leaf well to remove dust etc.

Wilt banana leaves a little over the flame, so that it does not tear when folded

Pour a ladle full of batter over

Fold carefully on all four sides

Stack them over idly plates, stack them such that the folding does not unfold

Steam for about 15min
