“Poddale Beeyeche Sanna Khotto (Spicy Snake Gourd Idly in jackfruit leaves)” … This dish is prepared with the inner seeds of poddale/ snake gourd along with raw rice and spices … though it is mostly prepared as small dosas to be served for lunch/ dinner, I gave a twist and tried preparing khotto ie Idly prepared in Jackfruit leaves baskets/ prepared molds and it tasted awesome served with dalitoy and rice … Yummilicious ….
** Poddale beeyeche sanna khotto is the same as sanna polo the difference being here that I have used Idly rice rava instead of ground rice. For khotto/ Idly I always use either idly rice rava or grind the rice coarser than for polo/dosa as it gives better outcome in dishes. Rest of the ingredients remain the same. Again khotto is Idly itself but that which is prepared in Jackfruit leaves woven basket specially prepared for the same. I have included plenty of dishes with both different types of khotto as well as sanna polo to which I will share common links at the bottom of the recipe, you can choose to browse through and prepare that which you would like to try though I would recommend them all as they are equally tasty. Also adding the preparation method of jackfruit leaves binding into khotto for those who are interested, they are easy and once you get used to the technique its breeze work. So, if you have access to the leaves do give this a try, you will surely love them also they are disposable and safe making the task of cleaning vessels to nil. Go ahead and enjoy them, stay safe.
** Here is my recipe for “Poddale Beeyeche Sanna Khotto (Spicy Snake Gourd Idly in jackfruit leaves)” … Do try them out and enjoy with family and friends, if you do not have access to jackfruit leaves, don’t worry, you can prepare them similar to idly in vati or in a round bowl too and then cut them to pieces.
** For preparing this dish we always use the inner tender seeds from poddale/ snake gourd. You can use some of the tapering edge parts too if there are less quantity fo seeds. In all you should have about 2 cups of the same.
** Wash and soak 2 cups of Idly Rice Rava in plenty of water for about 30 minutes. Strain the top water tilting the vessel and let stay aside covered for about another 15 minutes.
** To be ground : In a mixer grind add in ½ cup of freshly grated coconut (soyi/ nariyal), 6-7 kashmiri red chillies (kumte mirsanga/ byadgi mirchi), small marble sized tamarind (imly/ chinchama) and grind to a fine paste with minimum water. Now add in about 2 cups of tender inner seeds of snake gourd/ poddale and further grind coarsely to rava texture and remove into a bowl.
** Add in the drained and kept aside Idly rice rava, salt to taste and mix well. You should get a thick mixture so be careful on addition of water. The texture should be that of bhakri mixture, you should be able to make a loose round ball out of it.
** Add in gently into the prepared jackfruit baskets/ molds upto ¾ th level and then steam it in pedavana/ idly steamer for about 25 to 30 mins depending upon the no. of sanna khotto added. The method of steaming is the same as for other khottos.
** Note: You can also use plain raw rice instead of Idly rava. In which case just soak the rice separately for 2-3 hrs and grind it also separately a little bit rava textured and then mix it with ground masala paste. Rest of the method remains same.
** “Poddale Beeyeche Sanna Khotto (Spicy Snake Gourd Idly in jackfruit leaves)” is done and ready to be served. Peel off the outer jackfruit leaves and serve them hot with dal-chawl topped with coconut oil for lunch/ dinner. We Konkani saraswats always have it with rice and other dishes as that is the best combo.
