Hii folks


We Indians are always looking forward to Yummy snacks for tea time. Well, but what if its tasty and is taking care of your health and is cooked with steam. Yeah all three in one combo is this Colocasia leaf roles. Colocasia is Arbi or ghuiyaan as we all say and the key ingredient of this recipe is leaves of Arbi.  You must be thinking how can a tasty snack be made out of a leaf?? Well then lets get started to prove you wrong.


Ingredients:-

  • Gram Dal- 250 gram soaked overnight
  • 8 Colocasia leaves
  • 7-8 Garlic
  • 5-6 green chillies
  • Ginger paste 1 teaspoon
  • Asofoetida (hing)1/2 teaspoon
  • Salt according to taste
  • One Lemon's juice
  • Oil 2 tablespoon
  • Mustard seeds- 1 teaspoon

The Making

Start with cleaning the leaves with water and wipe them and make them dry with cloth gently. Take a pan and boil water as we will require steam to cook the roles. Take gram dal, garlic cloves, green chilly, ginger, hing and salt and mix it in a blender and make a thick paste. Coat the back side of one leaf with the paste and put another leaf on top of it and now role it and coat above so the role is sealed. 

Prepare the rest of the roles.Now grease the separator with oil and place the roles above the boiling water pan in the separator with holes and place a lid above it so we can use the steam to cook the roles. After 5 min you can check the roles are fully cooked or no by placing a toothpick, if it comes out clean then they are cooked. Now put them aside and let them cool and cut them into small pieces like spring roles.


Now take a kadayi and heat 1 tablespoon oil and add mustard seeds once they start crackling add the roles and fry them for a minute. Add lemon juice and serve them with a pudina-garlic chutney and masala chai. Enjoy with your loved ones and share your thoughts on same.

Papad Cooked in Curd Gravy

Posted by Priyanka | Labels: , , , ,

 Hii people!!

Yeah I know its been quite a time i posted any recipe from my mumma's kitchen but that doesn't mean i had stopped experimenting with the food.. and I promise now will be more regular in sharing my successful (tests) tastes with you all... Today I am sharing papad cooked in curd gravy,  which turned out really yummy...so lets get started.

Ingredients:-

  • Papad- 4
  • Onion chopped- 1
  • Garlic paste- 1/2 teaspoon
  • Tomato puree- 2 table spoon
  • Curd- 1 cup
  • Green chilly- 2 finely chopped
  • Fresh Coriander- finely chopped
  • Asafoetida (Heeng)- 2 -3 pinch
  • Turmeric powder- 1/2 teaspoon
  • Red chilly powder- 1/2 teaspoon
  • Oil- 2 tablespoon
  • Salt according to taste

The Making

Take a pan and  heat the oil  and add heeng, stir a bit then add garlic. We need to just get the golden color & we will add chopped onions  and let it soften and turn translucent. Once the onions look soft add chopped tomatoes or tomato puree as per availability and keep stirring. You may add salt here to catalyze the cooking of tomatoes. In the meantime we will soak our papad in water so we can soften them a bit. Just for a minute with only this much water that they are dipped in it. Once the tomatoes are soft we need to cook this masala till the time it starts leaving oil from sides. Add curd and keep stirring. Curd will provide a very good texture to your gravy and enhances the taste. Add turmeric and red chilly powder and mix in the gravy. Add a bit of water so that the gravy remains consistent. Take the soaked papad out and you will be able to tear it with your hands roughly. Add them to gravy and mix so that they wrapped in the gravy. Cook for a minute on slow flame and then garnish it with chopped green chillies and coriander. It will give you a break from daily dal and regular vegetable curries. Have it with Chapati. 

 Pls do try and share your feedback.
