6. Now divide the coconut jaggery filling into 12 equal portions. Arrange one portion of the mixture on the roti.
7. Now fold the turmeric leaf in the middle, fold both sides and press the edges to seal  the rice roti properly. 
8. Steam it using double boiler method for 15 -20 minutes.  I have used modak steamer to cook this patholi.
9. When patholi cooked to soft, open the turmeric leaf and serve hot or cold along with a dollop of ghee.
