Kumbilappam/Vazhanayila Appam/Chakka Appam/Steamed Jackfruit Dumplings

Image
Kumbilappam made with Vazhanayila  Kumbilappam is another authentic dish from Kerala.The main ingredient of this recipe is Chakka pazham(Jackfruit). Jackfruit, jaggery ,rice flour and some fresh coconut are mixed together to prepare the dough. It is then wrapped in Vazhanayila (this aromatic leaf gives a special flavour to the appam) in Kumbil(Cone) shape. That's why the name kumbilappam! The flavour of jackfruit and aroma of the leaves together gives a great taste to this dish. Here goes my mom-in-law's recipe for kumbilappam. Ingredients:  Ripe Jackfruit Bulbs(chopped finely)  - 2cups Jaggery(scraped) - 1 cup(adjust according to your taste) Freshly grated coconut - 1cup Rice flour (roasted) - 2cups. Cardmom (powdered) - 1/2tsp(optional ) Vazhana Ela or Banana leaves - as required. Method: 1 Melt jaggery in 1/2 cup of water.Remove the impurities. 2 Make a smooth paste of jackfruit pieces without adding any water. 3.In a big bowl add jackfruit paste,jaggery syrup and coconut.M
