Directions
Elai adai is a steamed delicacy mostly prepared in kerala. I feel this is a variation of the vella kozhukattai that we prepare for pillayar chaturthi. Vibha recently sent me a link of elai adai . She loves these steamed kozhukkatais and I wish she was here to taste this now
Elai Adai
Elai here refers to the banana leaves used to steam these vella adai. The dough is spread on the banana leaf, on which a layer of pooranam is spread and then it is steamed to make these delicious vellai ela adai

Wow! that is such a traditional recipe. I am sure the taste of the banana leaf adds a new dimension to this one.
We make this for every Eid at our place, we gorge them in batches with lots of tea… Love how you have made them, they make me nostalgic and tempted at the same time…
Veena in Konkan its steamed in turmeric leaves and in the rains. This one I can make any season! Thanks
The jaggery coconut combo sounds heavenly , and they sure look delicious .
sounds great. new to me.but with all ingredients used can say it would be delicious
My all time favorite and your clicks are so tempting right now!!! Nicely done.
Omg, i cant stop drooling over those excellent elai adai, seriously very tempting to the core.
this sounds amazing with that delicious filling
I think if adding big banana pieces to the filling will give a different flavour to the recipe.cant wait to try it pt.
