Patholi is prepared in different ways. One of them is using rice rawa instead of soaking and grinding rice, this simplifies the process. The other way is grinding rice jackfruit Jaggery and coconut together and steaming them.
Jackfruit Patholi | Jackfruit Gatti | Halasina Kadubu Recipe
The one that I have made is a variation from the second type of Patholi wherein I have made a separate stuffing of coconut and jaggery and stuffed it inside the Patholi. This is how my grandma used to make patholi. Each one taste different from the other.
The same process can be made using banana leaves, in case the teak leaves are not available.
To make this dish yummier is adding more jackfruit to the batter. The more you add the soft and tasty it is. Try making it this jackfruit season and enjoy the taste of soft stuffed patholi with a juicy Coconut stuffing.
