Mother prepared Cones on New Year's day and this she did year after year. I have prepared them too but occasionally.
I have plans to prepare them this New Year. They are a rice preparation. The jack fruit leaves cones are lined with rice paste and stuffed with coconut, jaggery and cardamom mix The stuff is then steamed.

@allknowing But the ingredients are same. The only difference, the leaves you are using.

@allknowing Ah, like a rice flour turned to paste then? I would love to see what the "stuff" looks like inside those leaves!

Not traditional but mother made them. Not cooked rice but uncooked cooked ground to a paste.

It sounds good. But I need to drop rice until I get my body behaving again. If not for that I would be trying to make them if I could find the jack fruit leaves.

@garymarsh6 They are meant for those who have sweet tooth - I belong there

@allknowing They sound delicious! I think we have probably eaten something similar to that. I find Indian sweets are far too sweet for me but they are nice!

Very different to me. When I think of cones I think of ice cream cones.

They are treated as molds and not eaten but they do contribute to the aroma a bit.
