10 leaves
Arbi leaves (Colocasia/Taro leaves) are large, heart-shaped, vibrant green tropical greens, highly prized in Indian cuisine for making delicacies like Patra (stuffed, steamed, and fried rolls) and curries. They are nutrient-dense—rich in iron, fiber, and vitamins—but must be thoroughly cooked to remove natural oxalates, which can cause throat irritation.
Key Details about the leaves
- Culinary Uses: Famous for Patra (or Alu Vadi), where a spicy chickpea flour paste is applied to the leaves, rolled, steamed, and fried. Also used in curries, soups, and stir-fries.
- Flavor Profile: Mild, earthy flavor similar to spinach.
- Nutritional Value: High in vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, and fiber.
Recipe:
Patra (or Alu Vadi) is a popular Gujarati and Maharashtrian snack made from colocasia leaves layered with a tangy, sweet, and spicy besan (gram flour) paste. These leaves are rolled, steamed, and often tempered with sesame seeds and mustard seeds to create a savory treat with a distinct, complex flavor.
-
Preparation: Tender Colocasia leaves (arbi leaves) are cleaned, stems removed, and coated with a paste of gram flour, tamarind pulp, jaggery, ginger-chilli paste, and spices. The leaves are stacked, rolled, steamed for 15-18 minutes, and cut into pieces.
