Another unique breakfast option from India’s southern state is Kumbilappam. This traditional dish is sweet and can be eaten as it is or with bananas. Though the actual preparation is with vazhana leaves, you can also prepare the dish with banana leaves or large fresh bay leaves.
Ingredients
Ripe jackfruit pods 2cups (chopped)
Jaggery 1to1 ½ cup (grated)
Grated coconut 1cup
Rice flour 2cups
Cardamom powder ½ teaspoon
Cinnamon powder ¼ teaspoon
Water ½ cup
Vazhana leaves as required
Method § Melt jaggery in water and remove impurities. § Smash jackfruit to smooth paste without adding water. § Mix jaggery, jackfruit paste, grated coconut, cardamom powder, and cinnamon powder thoroughly. § Slowly add rice flour and make smooth dough, which should not be too thick or too loose. § Take a vazhana leaf, fold it conically, and fill the cone with smooth dough up to ¾th; wrap the top portion and fix it so that it won’t unwrap. You can use a toothpick to fix the leaf cones. Continue this for the rest of dough. § Arrange the cones on a steamer and steam for 30 to 40 minutes; Serve hot. |
