Ingredients

5 colocassia leaves (arbi ke patte)

For the paste
1 1/2 cups besan (Bengal gram flour)
4 tbsp whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta)
3 tbsp curds (dahi)
1/2 tsp turmeric powder (haldi)
3 tsp sugar
1 tbsp chopped coriander (dhania)
1/2 tsp ginger-green chilli paste
1 tsp oil

For the tempering
1 tsp sesame seeds (til)
1/2 tsp cumin seeds (jeera)
a pinch of asafoetida (hing)
1 tbsp oil

For the garnish
1 tbsp chopped coriander (dhania)

Method

Wash and cut each colcosia leaf into 3 pieces.
Mix together all the ingredients for the paste with a little water to make a smooth paste.
Place each piece of the colcosia leaf on a flat surface and spread some of the paste on it.
Fold to make small cylinders.
Steam in a steamer for 15 minutes or until the patra cooks.

How to proceed

Prepare the tempering by heating the oil in a non-stick pan, adding the sesame seeds, cumin seeds and asafoetida and stir for 30 seconds.
Toss the paatras in the pan and stir for a few minutes.
Serve hot garnished with the chopped coriander.
