It is made in turmeric leaves for the true flavor, since it is not available here, i used plantain lealves, which is a very suitable replacement for turmeric leaves.
soak 1cup rice for 2 hrs, grind it into a thick paste along with 2tbp of slightly soaked poha and 1&1/2 tbsp coconut (fresh/frozen) and a pinch of salt. Add very lil salt, not as for a usual batter, The consistency of this batter should be thick enough to spread but not watery/running.
make churan by mixing powdered jaggery with desiccated coconut, cardamom powder, you may also mix chopped roasted dry fruits.
cut plantain leaves into 3inch wide strips, clean and wipe them. spread the rice batter avoiding 1/2 inch at the borders evenly. repeat the process for all the leaf strips, spread the churan along a central line/axis over the batter, fold them along the central axis and cook in a steamer for 15min.
once cooked, wait for 2-3min, gently separate the dumpling from leaves, serve with ghee when hot, or just like that.
