BANANA DUMPLINGS STEAMED IN COCOA LEAF
A snack with a hot mug of tea…is what most of us opt for when the clock ticks 4.The recipe that I am sharing here today is ada cooked in cocoa leaf.If you are quite familiar with Kerala recipes this is an other version of Chakka ada.
Cocoa leaves
2 cups of semolina
5-6 small ripe bananas
1 cup of melted jaggery
1/2 cup grated coconut
1/2 tsp dry ginger powder
- Pour oil in a pan and fry the semolina lightly in 1tbsp ghee .Let it cool.
- When the semolina cools, add the grated coconut,ginger powder and pour in the jaggery syrup mixing all the ingridients well to make a soft dough
- Take a leaf and make a cone .Fill the dough in the cone and make a hole in its centre.Now secure the filling with the leaf tip.Similarly make the cones out of the leaves and fill them.
- Steam them for 15 minutes .
- Open up the leaf and they are ready to be devoured.
