Recipe Notes

Use as little water as possible while grinding the batter as we need a thick, dry batter. If your batter gets watery, it will flow off the turmeric leaves.

Methods

How to make Sweet Rice Dumplings Steamed In Turmeric Leaves Recipe

1. Soak rice for a minimum of half an hour and grind it. Keep the thick batter aside
2. Wash the turmeric leaves carefully, drain all the water and wipe them dry using a cloth. Take care not to tear the turmeric leaves. Keep them aside.
3. In a bowl mix together freshly grated coconut, jaggery powderand cardamom powder. Mix them well.
4. On a clean working surface place a turmeric leaf and then place a small ladle of rice batter at one end of leaf. Spread it across the length of the leaf using your fingers or a spoon. Leave out the edges of the leaf to avoid spilling out of the batter when you press them closed. The rice batter should be applied as thin a layer as possible.
5. Place the inner filling mixture along the spine of the leaf, right in the center, in the middle of the leaf.
6. Fold the leaf vertically into half, along the spine. Continue this process until all the leaves/rice batter is used up. Place a steaming vessel with sufficient water on a high flame. When the water comes to boil, place the folded turmeric leaves inside the steamer.
7. Cover and steam for 12-15 minutes on a high flame. Once cooked, remove the hot folded turmeric leaves out, peel off the turmeric leaves and serve hot with lots of ghee.
