Manjal ela ada | Turmeric leaf ada recipe | Spicykitchen

Manjal ela ada is a traditional snack item of Kerala. Ada is an authentic Kerala delicacy made with rice flour, jaggery and grated coconut. Banana leaf is used for making traditional ada in a steamed or tawa cooked version. This time I would like to share the recipe of manjal ela (turmeric leaves) ada which I got from my mother in law.

I tried traditional ada and Ragi ila ada but ada in turmeric leaf was new to me. I was not sure about the taste of the dish when I was making it. But it came out very well and the taste was delicious. It had a nice aroma of turmeric leaf which was mouth watering. Moreover making ada in turmeric leaf has lots of health benefits such as it helps to boost digestion, and reduces gastric issues.

Ada is a very easy to make dish which can be served as both breakfast and as a four o clock snack. As the dish is steamed it is a best snack alternative for kids. Hope you all will try this healthy manjal ela ada and let me know how it turned out for you.
