CHAKKAPPAZHAM ELA ADA / JACKFRUIT RICE PARCELS IN PLANTAIN LEAF

Jack fruit is known as the jack of all fruits. It contains a huge amount of nutrients such as vitamines, minerals, carbohydrates, fibre and protein. Jackfruit is a good source of calorie, but contains no cholesterol or saturated fats. It prevents  cancer, and helps us to improve immunity power. Today I am adding Chakkappazham Ada recipe for you.


   Ada is a traditional delicacy of Kerala. Chakkappazham Ada consisting of rice parcels encased in a dough made of rice flour, with sweet jackfruit jaggery coconut mix fillings, steamed in plantain leaves. Some people use sauteed jackfruit with jaggery and grated coconut for filling. But I used chopped jackfruit for this ada. It can be served as an evening snack as well as a breakfast item.
