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.
