Ingredients: # Raw Rice 2 cups # Peeled and chopped Pumpkin 5-7 cups # Jaggery or Brown Sugar 4 cups # Grated Fresh Coconut 1/2 cup # Salt 1/2 teaspoon # Powdered Cardamom 2 teaspoons Method: Soak the raw rice in water for 2-3 hours. Mix the chopped pumpkin and jaggery/brown sugar and keep it aside for 15- 20 minutes. Drain the water from the soaked rice and put the rice in the blender. Then remove the liquid from the pumpkin-jaggery mixture and use it to blend the soaked rice into a coarse paste. Then add the rice paste, coconut, salt and cardamom to the pumpkin, jaggery mixture. If the mixture is too thin, pour it in to a thick vessel and cook it on medium heat(stirring constantly) untill the mixture becomes little thick. Then take plaintain leaves or aluminium foils(around 15" long and 10" wide). Put 3-4 tablespoons of the mixture on both the ends of the leaf/foil, spread it into two 4 1/2" x 5" rectangles and first fold the leaf/foil on all the four sides and then in the middle. Then put all the folded pockets in a vessel. Put 1 1/2 -2 cups of water in a vessel and put inside the vessel with the pockets. Cover and cook for 30 minutes. Remove the leaf/foil and serve with ghee on top. |
