Ada or Ela Ada is an Indian sweet and traditional Kerala delicacy, consisting of rice parcels encased in a dough made of rice flour with sweet fillings, steamed in banana leaf and served as an evening snack or as part of breakfast. It can be seen even in parts of Tamil Nadu as well. Grated coconut and rice flour are the two main ingredients. It is usually prepared on Onam. In this recipe I used chakka varatti/ jackfruit preserve for filling, instead of jaggery.
