JACKFRUIT IDLY ( PONSA IDLY )

These idlies are the most unique and delicious one. Its unique because jack fruit is a seasonal fruit and cannot make whenever needed. Ponsa idli is what we call them in konkani and also its the traditional Karnataka cuisine. It enhance the flavour and aroma of jack fruit so well. The colour also looks awesome. This is prepared with the addition of roasted rava, fresh grated coconut, jaggery with a touch of elachi flavour.Best way to make kids have Rava :) if there's any leftover idlies then, this tastes even more delicious and better if you shallow fry them in ghee on hot tawa.
