Instructions
Preparation to make alu vadi
- Soak the tamarind in ¼ cup hot water for 20 to 30 mins.
- Rinse the taro leaves well in water a few times and wipe them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- Prepare them as shown in the photos above - like removing the central vein and stalks etc.
Making gram flour batter
- Now squeeze the tamarind directly into the water and extract the pulp.
- Take all the ingredients for the batter in a mixing bowl.
- Add the tamarind pulp and mix well to make a thick batter.
- Add some water if needed.
- Check the taste and add more salt or powdered jaggery if required.
- The batter has to be really thick.
Making alu vadi
- For the first roll use 10 leaves and for the second roll use remaining 10 leaves.
- Sort and arrange the leaves according to their size. So use the large leaves first followed by the medium-sized and small leaves.
- Now spread the batter on each leaf and arrange them as shown in the above photos.
- Roll the edges vertically and spread some batter on them.
- Now roll horizontally and tightly.
- Keep on applying the batter on each fold as you roll.
Steaming alu vadi
- Place the rolls on a greased steamer pan.
- Steam the rolls for 20 to 25 minutes on medium to medium-high heat.
- When warm or cool, slice them and temper them. Or you can opt to deep fry them and serve with green chutney or coconut chutney.
Making tempering for pathrode
- For the tempering, heat oil in a pan. Crackle the mustard seeds first on a low heat.
- Then add the sesame seeds, curry leaves and asafoetida. Sauté for a few seconds until the sesame seeds crackle and the curry leaves look crisp.
- Then add the sliced rolls and sauté till they get golden from both the sides. Turn them as needed while sauteing.
- You can also just pour the tempering mixture on the sliced rolls if you prefer.
- Turn off the heat and sprinkle grated coconut and coriander leaves on the alu vadi or patra. Stir to combine and serve hot or warm.
