Alu Wadi / Gujarati Patra Vadi is a traditional Gujarati delicacy known for its unique flavors and health benefits. This recipe combines the goodness of besan, spices, and colocasia leaves to create a delicious and nutritious snack or side dish.
Ingredients
4
1 & half cups Besan
quarter cup Rice flour
1 teaspoon Ginger garlic paste
1 teaspoon Tamarind paste
2 tbsp Red chili powder
1 teaspoon Coriander powder
1 teaspoon Cumin powder
half teaspoon Turmeric powder
quarter teaspoon Hing
1 tablespoon Jaggery powder
0 Serving Serving taste
1 cup Water
10 pieces Colocasia leaves (alu leaves)
1 Tbs Roasted Sesame Seeds
Tips
Ensure the colocasia leaves are thoroughly washed to remove any traces of dirt or grit.
Adjust the spice levels according to your preference.
Steam the rolls until they are cooked through for the best texture.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
Directions
In a bowl, mix besan, rice flour, ginger garlic paste, tamarind paste, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, hing, jaggery powder, and salt. Gradually add water to make a semi-thick paste. Set aside.
Wash the colocasia leaves thoroughly using baking soda to remove any dirt. Wipe them dry and remove the stems. Flatten the leaves using a rolling pin.
Place one flattened colocasia leaf on a clean surface. Spread a layer of the prepared paste evenly over it. Place another leaf on top and repeat the process, layering with the paste. Continue this process for 4-5 leaves, making a roll.
Steam the roll in a steamer for about 20 minutes. To check if it's done, insert a knife or toothpick; it should come out clean.
Once steamed, allow the roll to cool slightly, then chop it into pieces.
You can serve the Alu Wadi Patra Vadi as it is or fry them or shallow fry them for a crispy texture. Sprinkle with roasted sesame seeds before serving.
Servings: Approximately 20 pieces
Notes
Avoid this dish if you have allergies to any of the ingredients, especially if you're sensitive to oxalates found in colocasia leaves.
