- Purnima :D
Some times readers should take quotes from us too! :) Deeba, hope u don't mind silly me!
Coming to this post title...my home has been a bhandaar of Konkani delicacies..food getting all the limelight every single day! The dishes I am sharing today involve the use of leaves, first dish is a sweet dish made using Turmeric Leaves the other one using Paatra or Colocasia Leaves.
'Patholi' is a sweet dish and has been blogged so beautifully by my fellow Konkani bloggers, but the gist of it is, a layer of ground rice+coconut, followed with a layer of 'Chuna' ie. wet grated coconut+jaggery mixture in center, steamed for ten minutes, after which the leaf is discarded and the steamed delicacy is devoured with a dollop of home made 'Toop' or clarified butter! Oh I love this heavenly sweet...yes..over any cakes too! :) Flavors registered at childhood seldom leave the brains! :) Vee, thanks a lot !

Ready to eat! Wt dollop of Ghee -INDULGE!
'Pathrado' is taken as a snack or side dish of Manglorean Konkani cuisine which is either steamed, shallow fried or curried once steamed! This is TAL-la-Lo, as in fried one. Its again a bunch of leaves..Colocasia or Paatra leaves on which a ground spicy mixture is applied, using 8-10 layers of leaves and the ground paste as a binding and taste enhancing agent, rolled up as in swiss roll, steamed for 20 mins and savoured! Do check Shilpa's pictorial. THANKYOU SHILPA.

Divu --> Oh then that was close miss! I too miss amma's patholi n pathradey! :( Yeah ...patholi is alws a pleasure..the day my amma makes, I easily make brkfast,lunch,snack n supper out of it!:D Glad u like my silly quote!:D
N sorry was if matter hurt you..not Creatorgiri! :)
Maha --> Arrows n me! Hmmmm! U know how well we get along! :D
Excellent set of recipe. Looks so good. YUM!
omg steamed one looks so yum,..feel like pickin one from the screen,..muffins look delish too,..;-)
Just checked your comment at Aroma and replied. Be safe there, Orangy sand storm? Scary. They had huge Tornado/Twister hit Oklahoma y'day and in NC, we had strong wind and rain last night because of that!
I can't express in words how much i love it.My mouth can't stop water looking at the pics.I desperately want to go to India once during shrawan just to eat this.I wish i could make it in US.
completely agree and empathise with your quote! i never landed up tasting konkani food while in India. Must add it to my Life's to do list!
OMG! I love patholis! We used to make it on 15th Aug every year. Sadly we dont get tumeric leaves here :(
I never heard of pathrodo.btw thanx for commenting on my blog.
I loved ur header and animation.
Muffins look yummy
Ohh I love Pathrado .. havent eaten it since ages
Happy birthday to HBJ from me
I love patholi, i'm from mangl so i'm like mad on this sweet dish, specially made on Nagara panchime !!
Pathrodo is, wat to say, mouth is watering looking at the pics.. wonderful, miss it here :( !!

Love your blog and recipes. :-)
