Does anyone know anything about these? Got them from an asian supermarket recently. I have tried many weird and wonderful ready-made products from India, many of which are not to my taste; generally too salty or rather bland. But these are lovely. I wonder if they are meant to be a savory or sweet? I steamed one the other day and had it as a starter with a lamb samosa. Very nice indeed. They are sort of sweet but this is offset by the spices. It didn?t feel like I was eating my dinner and pudding at the same time if you know what I mean. They are as cheap as chips but perhaps someone has a recipe.
Cheers.

Never seen em before. A nice source for Tej Patta leaves though which they've neglected to mention in the ingredients

Found a webite with quite a bit of info including a recipe. They are south indian (kerala) jack fruit dumplings. I have a veggie friend who visits occasionally and they will love these; a change from veg samosa. Look really easy to make, providing I can get hold of some jack fruit that is.
