Pathrode
Pathrode is a delicious dish from the South Indian state of Karnataka. It is made using colocasia leaves, also known as taro leaves, which are coated with a spiced rice and lentil batter, and then steamed or deep-fried. The result is a flavorful and crispy snack that is often enjoyed with chutney or sambar.
Ingredients
- 12 colocasia leaves (taro leaves)
- 1 cup rice flour
- ½ cup grated coconut
- ¼ cup chana dal (Bengal gram)
- 2 tablespoon urad dal (split black gram)
- 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
- 1 tablespoon cumin seeds
- 4 dried red chilies (adjust according to your spice preference)
- 1 inch ginger
- 3-4 cloves garlic
- 1 pinch asafoetida
- Salt to taste
- Oil for frying or steaming
Instructions
- Wash the colocasia leaves thoroughly and remove the stems.
- Soak the chana dal and urad dal in water for about 1 hour.
- In a blender or food processor, grind together the soaked dals, grated coconut, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, dried red chilies, ginger, garlic, asafoetida, and salt. Grind until you obtain a smooth paste.
- Add rice flour to the ground paste and mix well to form a thick batter. Adjust the consistency by adding a little water if required.
- Take a colocasia leaf and spread a thin layer of the prepared batter evenly on one side of the leaf. Repeat this process with the remaining leaves and batter.
- Roll the leaves tightly and secure them with a string or toothpicks to hold the shape.
- Steam the rolled leaves in a steamer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the batter is cooked. Alternatively, you can deep fry the rolled leaves in hot oil until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Once cooked, allow the rolled leaves to cool down slightly before removing the string or toothpicks.
- Slice the pathrode into roundels and serve them hot with your favorite chutney or sambar.
