Ingredients Required 

For the outer layer:

Anil Kozhukattai Flour makes it convenient to prepare a soft rice flour dough without grinding rice at home. Anil Jaggery Powder adds sweetness and a rich jaggery flavour to the filling.  Together, they make this jackfruit recipe taste just like the ones our grandmothers used to make.  

Steps to Prepare

Step 1: Make the jaggery syrup 
Take Anil Jaggery Powder in a pan and add a small amount of water. Heat on low flame until the jaggery completely dissolves. Strain the mixture if necessary to remove impurities.
Step 2: Add the filling ingredients
Once the jaggery melts, add the chopped jackfruit, grated coconut, ghee, and cardamom powder. Mix well.
Step 3: Cook the filling
Cook the mixture over low to medium heat until the excess moisture reduces and the mixture becomes thick enough to hold its shape. Allow it to cool completely before shaping.  
4: Shape the filling
When the mixture is cool enough to touch, roll it into small balls with your hands.
Step 5: Make the outer dough
Take the kozhukattai flour in a bowl. Slowly add hot water and mix. Knead it into a soft dough. Be careful, the water is hot. 

Step 6: Stuff and shape
Take a small portion of dough. Flatten it in your palm. Place a jackfruit ball inside. Cover it fully and shape into a round kozhukattai.
Step 7: Steam it
Place the kozhukattai in an idli pot. Steam for 5 minutes.
Step 8: Cool and serve 
Let it cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Then serve warm. 

That's it! Soft outside, sweet and juicy inside.

Tips for Making Soft Jackfruit Kozhukattai

● Use ripe, sweet jackfruit for better flavour.
● Cook the filling until excess moisture reduces.
● Cool the filling completely before shaping.
● Keep the outer dough soft and pliable.
● Avoid making the outer layer too thick.
● Seal the filling completely to prevent it from coming out while steaming.
● Steam until the outer covering is fully cooked. 

Mistakes to Avoid

● Don't add too much water to the flour. The dough should be soft, not sticky. 
● Don't skip cooling the filling before shaping. Hot filling is hard to roll. 
● Don't over-steam. 5 minutes is enough, more time can make it hard. 
● Don't rush the jaggery melting step. Slow melting gives better taste.
