Patoli Recipe
Ingredients:
1 cup rice flour
1 cup freshly grated coconut
3/4 cup jaggery, grated or chopped
1/2 tsp cardamom powder
Banana leaves, cut into 6-inch squares
Water, as needed
Salt, to taste
Instructions:
In a mixing bowl, add the rice flour and a pinch of salt. Gradually add water and knead it into a smooth dough. The dough should be soft and pliable. Cover the dough and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
In another mixing bowl, mix together the grated coconut and jaggery. Add the cardamom powder and mix well.
Take a small ball of dough and flatten it using your fingers or a rolling pin to form a small disc. Place a spoonful of the coconut-jaggery filling in the center of the disc. Fold the edges of the disc over the filling and seal it to form a crescent-shaped dumpling.
Repeat this process with the remaining dough and filling.
Place the banana leaves on a steamer basket and brush them with a little oil. Place the stuffed dumplings on the banana leaves, leaving some space between each dumpling. Steam the dumplings for 15-20 minutes or until cooked.
Once cooked, remove the dumplings from the steamer and let them cool for a few minutes.
Serve the patoli warm or at room temperature.
Enjoy your delicious Patoli!
