Wheat Ada (Wheat Jaggery Pockets)

Ingredients

Makes 3 pockets

Coconut         ½ cup

Jaggery ¼ cup

Banana, finely chopped (jackfruit is a tastier alternative) 1 no.

Wheat 100 g

Water, as required

Oil

Salt, to taste

Banana leaf (Optional)

Preparation

Combine coconut, jaggery and banana in a bowl and set aside.
Knead wheat with water and salt to make a very soft dough. Divide the dough into three balls.

If you have banana leaf:

Dip your hands in water (to prevent the dough from sticking to your hand) and flatten one ball onto the leaf. Spread 1/3rd of the filling on one half of the dough and fold the pocket. Pinch the edges to contain the filling. 

Spread oil on a frying pan with a cotton ball and lightly warm. Cook the pocket on a low flame, flipping sides from time to time. Remove the banana leaf carefully and continue cooking for a minute to make it crispier. 

If you don’t have banana leaf:

Spread oil on a frying pan with a cotton ball and lightly warm. Dip your hands in water (to prevent the dough from sticking to your hand) and flatten one ball onto the pan. Spread 1/3rd of the filling on one half of the dough and fold the pocket. Pinch the edges to contain the filling. 

Cook the pocket on a low flame, flipping sides from time to time. 

Remove from heat and enjoy! Thank you :)
