coconut

🥗Healthier: dried coconut flakes

💰Cheaper: coconut cream

Dried coconut flakes are more accessible and less expensive.

Soak rice flour in water for a few hours until hydrated.

Mix the soaked rice flour with a pinch of salt and cardamom powder.

Prepare the filling by mixing grated coconut with jaggery until well combined.

Take a small portion of the rice flour mixture and flatten it on a banana leaf.

Place a spoonful of the coconut-jaggery filling in the center of the flattened dough.

Fold the banana leaf over to encase the filling securely.

Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

Set up a steamer and bring water to a boil.

Place the wrapped pithas in the steamer and cover.

Steam for about 20-25 minutes until the dough is cooked through and firm.

Remove from the steamer and let cool slightly before serving.
