Patra or Patarveliya is a well known Gujarati Dish, you can have it for a snack or make as a farsan for your complete thalli.. with full spicy, tangy and slightly sweeter flavours, it is great when you want to eat something different.
Normally, patra isn't made with carrot, but I tried using carrot and it makes the dish taste a lot better - it becomes sweeter, and the amount of sugar that has to be used is reduced.
You will Need:-
To make the thick paste:-
For Tempering(Vaghar or Tadka)
Place a leaf back to front up on a flat work surface. (I've laid a cling film on a work surface) Take a little paste and apply thinly all over the leaf surface.
Place another leaf on top of the first leaf. Apply the paste and place another leaf and make consecutively in this manner for 4-5 leaves, the top layer being that with paste. Now roll over from the base to the tip of the leaf.
Steam for an hour in a steamer or whatever way you steam. after they have slightly cooled cut them in round shapes.
Temper mustard seeds and sesame seeds with hing in oil and add these Patra slices and saute for 3-4 minutes.
Garnish with coriander and shredded (desiccated) coconut.
Enjoy them ;-)

ReplyDeleteI have heard about Patra,but first time seeing a pic of the final dish,along with step by step pics of course.It reminds me of a very similar dish we make called Patrodo.The procedure is the same,but we use a ground paste of rice along with other masala to make a svaoury version..looks fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteLooks yum with the step by step preps..Havent heard of it before, we only use the roots not the leaves.
