Urd - Raw Rice Kadabu (Using Jack fruit tree leaves as Moulds)

Kadabu is made with Idly dough but using more urd and less quantity of rice. Using the jack fruit leaf as mould definitely gives aroma and the shape is also liked by kids, since its too soft all age group people love to have them. You can have these Kadubu with chutney, sambar, rasam , majjige huli, jaggery, chutney pudi or even honey will do. Along with fresh butter or ghee and little pickle also a good combination. We can have these kadubu for break fast, lunch, as evening snack or at night for dinner. These Kadubus are a healthy dish since it is done with steaming.

Note: The proposition of rice and dal should be the above said measurement. Some time the urddal quality will not be so good. So use little more urd than the said quantity. The dough should be ferment properly. Using a grinder to grind rice and urd dal will certainly gives a better texture. You can also long tumblers  (steel glasses) instead of jack fruit tree leaves. You can use medium size rava instead of raw rice.
