Sweet Idiyappam ( Stuffed with Coconut & Jaggery )

Sweet idiyappam is filled with coconut & jaggery flavored with cardamom .... I have already posted a  Idiyappam recipe which i make it often for breakfast  with Egg Stew  or Varathuaracha Kadala / Bengal Gram Curry & sometimes when i feel lazy to make curries i make with the same dough  2 other varieties both savory ( which i'll post later) & sweet Idiyappam which is more easy to make as i have grated coconut & jaggery in the fridge it's a breeze to make this sweet version... 
So here is my version of making sweet idiyappam 😊

Pre-Note : To make the raw rice dough click here  →  How to make raw rice dough -No 2 

Ingredients : For the coconut  jaggery filling.

• 100 gm grated coconut.
• 60 gm  crushed or powdered jaggery ( Adjust as per taste ).
• 1/4 tsp cardamom powder.
• 1/2 tsp ghee.
• Banana leaf cut in round shapes.

Method :

Mix well & place in a microwave oven & cook on high power for 1 min..Remove & stir once with a spoon & again microwave on high power for 30 sec..Remove from microwave. Once it's cold mix well  with your fingers ..ready to use coconut jaggery mixture,keep aside..

•  While cooking in microwave you can even add raisins or finely chopped Kerala bananas (nenthrappazam)...

• Take a small portion of the Rice dough  shape into log & press into the Idiyappam presser.
• Press into circlets through the Idiyappam presser onto a greased banana leaf.( let the circlets be a thin layer ) & place the leaf on a thali
• Next spread a thick layer of the coconut jaggery mixture on the idiyappam..

Idiyappam stuffed with coconut & jaggery, there's another version is what we malalyalees call it ela ada steamed rice parcel in banana leaf  & mangaloreans  call it Patholi steamed in turmeric leaf.. 

For ela ada / patholi  you have to flatten the Rice dough evenly on the banana leaf  or turmeric leaf  place the coconut jaggery filling on the center of the leaf ....Now fold the leaf gently horizontally or vertically press the edges & steam till done..When warm remove the leaf  & serve hot 😋.
