To begin making Ela Ada Recipe, first keep a pan on the gas stove and bring water to boil.

Add boiling water, gradually, to the rice powder and mix using a wooden spatula/spoon. Once the mixture cools down a bit, knead with your hands to make a soft dough and keep aside.

Next combine grated coconut and grated jaggery and cardamom powder with your hands till well combined.

Take a piece of Banana leaf and place a lemon size dough in the centre of the leaf.

Flatten the Ela Ada rice dough with wet fingers to get a nice and even flattened dough. Fill the Ela Ada dough with a teaspoon of coconut jaggery mixture on one side of the flattened dough and fold from the other side and press lightly.

Place the Ela Ada in a steamer/idli cooker and steam it for 10 minutes on high heat and turn off the heat.
