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.
INGREDIENTS
Rice flour -1 cup
Warm water - as required
Plantain leaves - as required
Salt - to taste
FOR FILLING
Ripe Jack fruit - 1 cup (chopped)
Jaggery - as required
Coconut (grated) - 1 cup
PREPARATION
Mix rice flour with warm water and salt to make a smooth dough. (slightly looser than chapathi dough) Mix chopped jackfruit, jaggery and grated coconut and keep aside. Cut plantain leaves into 8-9 inch squares. Take some dough and pat it over the plantain leaves thinly with fingers. Then put the jackfruit mix inside it and fold. Make all adas like this. Put idly cooker or steamer on the flame and pour some water and allow it to boil. Place folded adas inside it and steam for 15 - 20 minutes or until it get cooked. Take out adas and serve with or without plantain leaves.
Jackfruit elayappam is ready. Enjoy....
