jackfruit idli, halasina hannina kadubu, pelata gatti/gidde, ponsa muddo is a sweet idli made from jackfruit. my mother in law makes these idlis very commonly during the jackfruit season. authentically, in south canara these idlis are steamed on teak tree’s leaves (pelata ere), which gives an amazing colour and flavor to them.

honestly, i am not a big fan of jackfruit. hence the recipe is shared and clicked by mother in law. she loves it a lot. sincerely, now it has been a long time since i had eaten it. this is my husband’s favorite dish. but unfortunately we do not get jackfruit here in australia, hence he has to be satisfied with just photos from his mother 🙂
i am sharing authentic way of preparing these idlis with teak leaves, however these idlis can be easily prepared in banana leaves, idli stand or glass as well. the idli is lightly sweetened by adding liquid jaggery and tastes best when served with ghee or honey. the jackfruit idlis were simply divine.
i do have a collection of idli recipes, and you may want to look at my idli with cooked rice, idly with idli rava, kotte kadubu. i am also having recipes of set dose, mysore masala dosa, onion uttapam, davangere benne dosa, neer dose, heerekai dose.
