The earthy aroma of turmeric leaves makes this dish delectable. It’s a dish primarily made during ‘Prathamastami’ in Odisha. I cook it whenever I get to find some turmeric leaves in local market.

In Odisha we pair this with white peas curry, locally called ‘Ghuguni’.

Steps

1

Make the coconut jaggery filling by roasting coconut, jaggery & crushed cardamom for 5/10 mins.
Tip: You can store the left over mix, in freeze upto 5 days, to be used in stuffed idli, or as fillings in dosas for kids.
2

Wash and cut the turmeric leaves into halves by trimming the ends with a scissor or sharp knife.
3

Make sure the batter is of Idli batter consistency and not flowing consistently like dosa batter. Mix a bit more to make it airy.
4

Take a big spoonful of batter. Spread on the middle of the leaf. Add a spoon of coconut filling on top. Cover with another spoonful of batter. Gently fold the leaf.
5

Complete the batch. In the mean time have the steamer ready.
6

You can use idli steamer but the perforated tray works better as we can place the leaves properly.
7

Steam for about 15 minutes or until the toothpick test passes. Enjoy the fresh earthy Enduri Pitha with you choice of sides.
