How to make Jackfruit Dumplings
Filling

Mash the jackfruit and sauté it with jaggery, cardamom, and a pinch of salt until the mixture becomes thick and jammy. Allow it to cool down.
Dough

Mix the rice flour, all-purpose flour, salt, and coconut oil or ghee in a bowl. Gradually add hot water while mixing to form a soft dough. Knead the dough well and cover it with a damp cloth to prevent drying.
Assemble

Divide the dough into small balls. Flatten each ball, place a small amount of filling in the center, and seal the edges to form dumpling shapes. Ensure there are no leaks.

Place the dumplings in a greased steamer or on a lined tray. Steam them for 10–15 minutes until they turn translucent and firm.
