Prepare Dhonos
Ingredients :
2 cups pulp of soft variety of jackfruit
1 cup grated coconut
1 cup coarse rice flour
4 tbsp home made ghee
jagerry to taste
salt to taste
Preparation :
Also know as jackfruit cake
Cake made from ripe, soft jack fruit mash
Separate flesh from seeds. Pass the flesh through a large-holed strainer and extract the pulp. To this pulp add the rice flour. ( To make the rice flour : Wash rice, put it out to dry and then grind coarsely to a semolina-like consistency. Roast it lightly in a little ghee )
Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Add extra jaggery in case the jackfruit is not too sweet, or omit it if it is too sweet. Pour the jackfruit mixture into a greased aluminium cake mould.
Put it in an oven for half an hour (gas oven) on high temperature and then reduce heat.
When it begins to leave the sides, check that the rice flour has cooked and remove from the oven. Turn it on a plate once it is cooled, cut into slices and serve.
Variation : This dish can also be prepared from grated cucumber. It is then called Tavsali or Cucumber cake.
