Method
Fry grated coconut and jaggery in low frame till the raw smell disappears…remove from the gas…Add cardamom powder and black peeper powder…stuffing is ready…
Grind the soaked urad dal and rice…make a thick batter…cut the long turmeric leaves in to two or three long pieces and wash them…Put the batter with a little amount of stuffing in the middle of the spread out batter on each leaf…Fold or close the leaf with another leaf…steam it for roughly five minutes…It is ready…

In Odisha it is traditionally prepared in prathamasthami, a festival observed praying for the well being of the eldest child of the family.

    1. Raw rice would make a good dough. It's better if you soak the rice overnight and then grinde it.
