Ela Ada
Ela Ada, a traditional Kerala delicacy is a special sweet snack found in the region of Wayanad. Ela Ada is a beloved sweet recipe with two equally delicious versions differentiated on the basis of the interior filling.
Ela Ada with Coconut Sugar Filling
The Ela Ada making process begins with the preparation of a soft dough flattened on banana leaves and is followed by the key ingredient which is the coconut filling. The caramel-like sweetness with the rich flavor of grated coconut and cardamom is generously spread over the flattened dough.
The natural banana leaf wrapper imparts a pleasant aroma that infuses a subtle earthy taste. The coconut sugar filled dough is carefully folded and steamed, allowing the blend of flavors that results in an Ela Ada that is soft and chewy.
The Ela Ada with coconut sugar filling takes you back to the roots of the region and is a treat to the eyes and taste buds. The unique blend of flavors in an Ela Ada is a strong symbol of the culinary expertise and the greatness of Wayanad culture.
Ela Ada with Jaggery Filling
Ela Ada can also be prepared using jaggery filling which is a major deviation in taste from the other form of Ela Ada. This jaggery special version of Ela Ada is a tribute to the traditional flavors of Wayanad with the inclusion of a sweet twist. Both types of Ela Adas embody the essence of Wayanad’s culinary heritage, making them a recipe to be not missed in Wayanad.
