rava                                         1 cup
coconut  grated                    1 cup

 jaggery                                   3/4  cup

If the dough becomes very thin add little more rava to bring it to the required consistency.Grease the idli mould and spoon the dough in it. Now steam it as you steam the idli for 10 to15 minutes. When it is ready, you get a good aroma of the jackfruit.
Let it cool for a minute and then remove it from the mould to the serving plate. pour ghee on it while serving :)
