For Dough

• Rice Flour - 2 cups
• Warm Water - 1 cup
• Salt to taste
• Banana Leaf for wrapping

For Filling

• Grated Coconut - 2 cups
• Jaggery (melted and filtered) - 200 gm

Method

• First we can make the dough. In a bowl mix rice flour and salt. To this add warm water and make a soft and smooth dough. Divide them into small ball shape.
• In an another bowl, mix melted jaggery, grated coconut and cardamom powder for the filling.
• Cut the banana leaf into small pieces. Place one ball of rice dough on the banana leaf and spread it evenly. Use your hands to spread the rice dough as thin as possible leaving a 1 cm margin on all sides. Dip fingers in water to avoid sticking.
• Place filling on one side of the spread dough.
• Fold the leaf and press the sides well.
• Steam it in the idly steamer for 10-12 minutes. Make sure that there is enough water in the steamer.
• Once the adas are cooked, peel of the leaf and have it.
