Elai Adai is one of the popular sweets in Kerala. Elai adai is made of jack fruit jam which is called as “Chakka Varatti” in Kerala. This is made using plantain leaf which gives a special flavor to the adai. Jack fruit by itself is tasty. When it is prepared as a jam and added to coconut puran, it is divine.

Kheer is a traditional dessert dish in India and it has different names such as payasam, payesh, etc. It is generally made during festival times and all special occasions. Kheer is a must in marriages or any feast. Milk is the base for any kheer which is reduced and cooked with the main ingredient. When you say kheer, it always reminds you of Rice Kheer which is the most popular among kheers. But kheer can also be made with many other ingredients and carrot is one among them.
