  • Kurakkan flour
  • Red rice flour
  • Grated coconut
  • Sugar
  • Salt
  • Cardamom powder
  • Large kenda leaves

Instructions

  • To make the panipol, heat the treacle on the stove on low heat. Add the sugar and the cardamom. Leave on till all the sugar is dissolved and the syrup thickens. Add coconut to this. Mix it into the syrup and simmer on low heat, frequently stirring until most of the liquid evaporates. Take off heat. Mix the kurakkan flour, the rice flour and the salt and sift it together. Add this to the syrup mixture. Mix together until a dough forms of cookie dough consistency. Wash and dry the kenda leaves. Take small balls of the halapa dough and flatten it on one side of the kenda leaf, fold the leaf from the main vein and close the dough with it making a small envelop. Repeat process for all the dough. Steam for about ½ hour until the dough firms up. Unwrap and eat.
