Pathrode -2

 

This is a type of pathrode that my family likes, though I like the other one. This is easier and faster to prepare, so it is fine with me J

Ingredients

2 colocasia leaves

1 cup besan

Salt to taste

¼ tsp ajwain

¾ tsp dried mango powder

¼ tsp turmeric powder

¼ tsp red chilli powder

2 tsp oil

Water to make into a thick paste

Oil to shallow fry

Instruction

-  Gently remove the thick veins on the outer surface of the colocasia leaves with a sharp knife.

-  Wash the leaves, lightly shake off the excess water and keep aside for the remaining water to evaporate.

-  Mix all the ingredients with the besan, slowly adding water to make a thick paste.

-  Keep one leaf upside down, spread besan paste onto the whole of outer surface. Now keep the second leaf over this, and spread the remaining besan mix over the leaf.

-  Now gently roll them together, keep inside a container and steam for 20 minutes. Take out and allow to cool slightly.

- Slice the roll into pieces of about 1 ½ cm thickness

   

-  Heat oil on a thava, roast the both sides of the slices on medium heat and serve.

-  It can be served as a snack along with tomato sauce, or as an accompaniment of rice or chapati.

    Today when I was making pathrode, I did something more. After removing the veins of the leaves, I applied tamarind solution over them and left for about ten minutes before applying the besan paste. It really took the taste to another level, worth doing every time.
