Ingredients

Method

  1. Heat a non-stick shallow pan, add coconut and jaggery, mix well and cook till the jaggery melts.
  2. Add green cardamom powder and nutmeg powder, mix and continue to cook for 1 minute or till the moisture dried up. Set aside to cool completely.
  3. Take rice flour in a bowl, add salt and ¾ cup water gradually and whisk well. Add another ¾ cup water little by little and whisk till a smooth and thick batter is formed.
  4. Sprinkle some water over the turmeric leaves and gently wipe them with a damp muslin cloth. Cut the leaves into 3 inch pieces.
  5. Grease each turmeric leaf piece with some oil, spread a portion of the batter over it. Place a portion of the coconut stuffing on one side and fold the leaf in half. 
  6. Heat sufficient water in the lower container of a steamer. Place the prepared leaves in the upper perforated basket, cover and steam for 10 minutes. 
  7. Transfer the patolis onto a serving plate, remove the leaves and drizzle ghee over them. Serve hot.
