Ada a rice pancake from Kerala

For all those who have a sweet tooth Ada is something to die for.It is nothing but thin lining of rice dough stuffed with jaggery and grated coconut.Banana plantain leaves are first cut into small pieces then shown on light flame so that they loose their rigidity and become tender.Banana plantain leaves are as such a bit hard.Soak rice in water for few hours. Then drain the excess water using a sieve. Then powder the drained rice in mixer. Roast this rice flour on low flame in a frying pan .Then take some rice flour in a pan. pour some simmering hotwater and mix with a spoon till a smooth dough is ready.Now spread it evenly on a bana leaf. Place the jaggery and coconut mixture within the same.Fold the leaf and steam in in rice cooker. After sometime once it is cool you can relish the same. Youtube and google are best places to have a view as to how it is really made.This would really aid in understanding the preparation.I am a bit doubtful whether it has to be roasted . Same rice flour is used  to make puttu (cylindrical rice pancakes a layer of rice flour and grated coconut).
