Ada is a traditional Kerala delicacy , consisting of rice parcels encased in a dough made of rice flour, with sweet fillings, steamed in banana leaf and served as an evening snack or as part of break fast. Grated coconut and jaggery are the main ingredients of sweet filling usually. Sometimes banana is also added in the filling.
We can use ragi powder or wheat flour etc instead of rice flour to making dough for ada. Sometimes the filling may be varried. Here I am presenting a special Ragi Ada.
INGREDIENTS
Ragi flour - 1 cup
Warm water - as required
Salt - as required
Plantain leaves as required
FOR FILLING
Jaggery - as required
Coconut (grated) - 1 1/2 cup
METHOD
Mix ragi flour with salt and water to make a smooth dough (slightly looser than the chapathi dough) Combine grated coconut and jaggery and keep aside. Cut plantain leaves into squares (approximately 8 - 9 inches sides). Take some dough and pat it over the plantain leaves thinly with fingers. (If the dough is sticky, wet the fingers occasionally.) Then put the coconut jaggery filling on the one side of the pat out dough and fold and keep aside. Make all the ada like this.
Put the folded adas into a steamer or idly cooker and steam it for 15 - 20 minutes or until it get cooked. Take out adas and remove plantain leaves and serve.
Healthy and Tasty Ragi Ela Ada is ready now. Serve and enjoy...
