In a Mixer, combine jackfruit pieces, jaggery, grated coconut, and cardamom to a fine paste along with little water.

Transfer the jackfruit puree into a mixing bowl. To this bowl, add rice rava and salt, mix everything well.

Allow this Jackfruit Idli batter to sit for 10-20 minutes so that the rice rava soaks well in the mix.

Heat water in an Idli steamer. Grease idli moulds with ghee .Pour the batter into the cavities. 

7

Steam the Jackfruit Idlis for 15 minutes on a medium flame. Prick a toothpick, if it comes clean, idlis are done.

8

Allow the steamer stand to cool a bit and then remove idlis from moulds using a spoon or a knife.

Sweet Jackfruit idlis are ready to serve.

Reserve the seeds of jackfruits for other delicious preparations like Goan Maskachi Bhaji or Kerala Style Jack Fruit Seeds Stir Fry.

In the authentic version, batter is steamed cooked in Teak leaves or banana leaves . But in cities they are not always available. So you can make it in idli mould/steamer.
