I cant remember when I had this last, I get a taste of all the dishes I had during my childhood, now, thanks to my son !
Jackfruits are easily available in Bangalore and you have roadside vendors cleaning and cutting them - its a huge effort to cut the jackfruit - its sticky and messy
Havent seen them in Gujarat though, there are many people who have never had it..It does have a distinct smell and taste, but I love it !
This is generally steamed in turmeric / banana leaves, but Ma made them like idlis in the idli steamer
What you need -
2 cups ripe jackfruit sections deseeded
1/2 cup grated coconut
3 tbsp grated jaggery
1 cup sooji / rava
a pinch of salt
What you do with it -
Cut the jackfruit sections into pieces
Grind it along with the coconut to a smooth paste
Add the jaggery and salt
Mix well and then add the sooji
The consistency should be like that of idli batter
Grease the idli moulds and place in the steamer
Fill up the idli moulds and steam for 10-15 mins
If you are using turmeric or banana leaves, spread a portion of the batter on the leaf and then close it. Place the folded side down and steam for 10-15 mins
Add a little ghee on the ready idlis / patolis and enjoy !
