Patra Recipe or Alu Vadi or Patode or Patod all are different names of one dish made with colocasia leaves /arbi ke patte.

Patra is a dish from Gujrat but in Maharashtra also it is equally popular. I have tasted both versions of Patra and they are quite similar .

To make Patra Recipe we need colocasia leaves / arbi ke patte then coat these leaves with a mixture of gram flour / besan and some spices. Layer all coated leaves and roll them. Steam in a steamer, then cut into small pieces. Then after that you could deep fry these or sauté in pan what ever you like.

I am using pan fry version to avoid use of more oil. Best part is that you can have it as snacks or you could also make it’s curry . Colocasia leaves are nutritious and tasty . This dish is served with Green Coriander chutney or Tomato chutney /sauce . It tastes really delicious and you will not regret the efforts to make it.

So lets see how to make this dish.
