Kumbilappam (Steamed Jackfruit Cakes)

 Kerala's own cake, close to any malayalee's heart. The smell of this cake brings fond memories of my grandmother and also my childhood.

(Blend the jackfruit and boil the pulp till it is reduced to half and all the water is evaporated)

Coconut Grated: 2 cups

Sugar: 1 cup

Rice Flour: 3 cups

Cardamom Powder: 1 tbsp

Vazhanayila (Bay leaf) : as needed

Make cones out of the Bayleaf (like shown in the picture below)

Steam the dough filled cones in an Idly cooker till done (about 20 minutes)

Insert a toothpick and if it comes out clean, then your Kumbilappam is ready to eat.
