Patra/ Alu Wadi/ Patrode

-



Patra/ Alu Wadi/ Patrode is a versatile dish that is present in various cuisines, Gujarati, Maharashtrian, and Manglorean respectively. It as amazing snack which has a unique taste. The Gram flour mixture applied between each leaf has a wonderful sweet, tangy and spicy flavor. The texture of this dish is fantastic, soft from the inside, and crispy bits on the outside. The toasted sesame adds an extra texture to whole dish. The tamarind is actually added to this dish to prevent the colocasia leaf's itchy effect on your throat. It happens to add amazing taste to the dish as well.

Patrode, in Manglorean, makes use of rice flour instead of gram flour for this dish. I am yet to try this version but I am sure it will equally amazing.

HOW TO MAKE PATRA/ ALU WADI/ PATRODE

  2. Prepare the Colocasia leaves by removing their veins with the help of a sharp knife. Place the leaf on a clean surface with the light green side facing up. Apply the Gram flour mixture with the help of your fingers evenly on the whole leaf. Place another leaf on top and repeat the process with 2 more leaves.
  3.  Carefully roll the arrangement tightly. Apply more Gram flour mixture on the roll. Place in a steamer. Prepare more such rolls and steam in a steamer for 10-15 minutes.
  4. Check if the Patra is cooked by sliding a knife through the center of each roll. If it comes out clean, it's cooked. Remove from the steamer and allow to cool.
  5. Once cool, cut the roll into thin slices.
  6. In a pan heat some oil, add mustard, cumin, and sesame seeds. Carefully place the cut patra slices and toss till they get a bit crispy.

Biang Biang Noodles

Biang Biang Noodles, traditionally called Biang Biang Mian is a traditional dish of Shaanxi Province from Northwestern China. Shaanxi cuisine is famous for its amazing noodle dishes. They are to die for. They are so tempting even to look at, you would want to try all of them.  “Biang” actually is an Onomatopoeia word describing the sound when the noodles smashing against the board (especially when smashing against stainless steel board). The word "Biang" is also the most difficult word to write. But, I bet to make them is not as hard. The satisfaction of making your own noodles, that too hand-pulled is a different kind of joy. Making noodles from scratch is fun and adds an element of satisfaction to your prepared meal.  I will put down a YouTube link for a better understanding of the process: Biang Biang Noodles  or for the whole science behind it and an amazing recipe in the end,  click here PREP TIME: 20-30 minutes COOK TIME:      15-20 minutes SERVES:  2-3  Level: Medium C
