No jaggery in this Jack fruit - Rava - Pepper Idli. It is a famous breakfast food in South Canara/Dakshina Kannada and other places in Karnataka.



 I have prepared jack fruit spicy idli before. Now it it Jack fruit - rava - pepper idli time. Jack fruit is from my sister Vijaya Lakshmi's house. When I went this time we brought one big jack fruit and the fruit is so tasty.
I thought of preparing jack fruit idli.
I have used medium size rava/semolina, coconut, pepper pods and a pinch of cooking soda.
I used the mixi only to grind the jack fruit pieces.
This Jack fruit idli is good for breakfast, kids snack box, travelling and picnic too.
It is a simple, with out jaggery Jack fruit idli and you can eat this Jack fruit - Rava - Pepper Idli at any time of the day.

I just mixed fresh grated coconut with jack fruit batter. Let the whole batter rest for 5 minutes after you add rava. Add cooking soda at the last point. Just before you cook idli. A pinch of bicarbonate soda /cooking soda is enough to use.
Adding pepper is optional. But it is better to use pepper pods, so that it reduces the gas in jack fruits.
