Konkani Pathrado / Pathrode

Pathrode
Pathrode or Pathrado is a Konkani recipe of Colocasia or Arum or Taro Root leaves. This recipe is well known as Patra for Gujaratis and Alu Wadi for Maharashtrians. I have used Collard Greens for this Patrado recipe as a substitute for Alu Paan or Patrade Paan. 
If you find this recipe time consuming, try the easier recipes of Alu Wadi made of Besan or Chickpea Flour and Patrade Pana Muddo.

Ingredients:
Collard Greens - a bunch
Chana Dal/Split Bengal Gram - 1 cup
Tur Dal/Split Pigeon Peas - 1/2 cup
Rice (Medium Grain) - 1/4 cup
Grated Coconut (fresh or frozen) - about 1/2 cup
Coriander Seeds/Dhane - 1 1/2 tbsp
Dry Red Chilies (Byadagi variety) - 10
Tamarind/Chinch/Chincham - 1 tsp
Jaggery or Sugar or Molasses - 1 tsp
Semolina/Rava/Sooji - 1/2 cup (optional)
Salt
 
How to prepare Pathrode:
  • Soak rice, chana dal, tur dal in water for 6 - 8 hours. Wash the soaked dals and rice well. Grind coconut, soaked dals, rice, coriander seeds, dry red chilies, tamarind, jaggery and salt to a slightly coarse or fine paste. Add very little water for grinding, so that the paste is thick and not runny. Add more or less red chilies, tamarind and jaggery to suit your taste.
  • Wash the collard greens well and wipe them dry.
  • Remove the thick midribs/stem of the leaves. Place two big leaves with the lighter green side up and apply the paste evenly.  Place 4 - 5 leaves, applying the paste in a similar way. Fold the leaves together from all the 4 sides and form a roll.
  • Steam these rolls for 12 - 15 minutes. After the rolls cool, cut the rolls into medium slices and serve hot Pathrode with coconut oil or ghee/clarified butter.  
  • Pathrode can be shallow fried with or without semolina.

Naval Kol Bhaji / Kohlrabi Stir-fry

Green Kohlrabi called as Navalkol in Marathi and Navilkosu in Kannada, belongs to the cabbage family.  My Mom used to make this stir fry very often.  Just like cabbage, this vegetable in available in two colors - green and purple.  I was quite hesitant about the purple one, as I haven't seen that back in India.  Anyway, I picked the green bulbs and Navalkohl Bhaji with Chana Dal was part of our healthy vegetarian meal today.

Indian Dal / Lentils

Lentils, known as Dal are a staple in an Indian diet, especially vegetarian. For me, dal is comfort food. 5 different dal varieties - Toor, Moong, Chana, Masoor and Urad are commonly used in Indian sweet and savory delicacies. You can cook dal with just one kind or a mix of two or more. I generally cook dal with 1:1 Toor and Moong dals. But then, we like Panchmel or Panchratna Dal too, which is made of all five. Most dal recipes have Toor dal as the primary ingredient. It is also known as Toovar or Arhar dal or Split Pigeon Peas . Some of our family favorite dal recipes are Dalitoy (Konkani Dal)  Tadka Dal Among all lentils, moong dal and masoor dal take lesser time to cook. Moong dal is also known as Split Green Gram or Split Mung Bean . Moong dal is also used in making sweet dishes like Mung Dal Kheer  Mung Dal Puranpoli Chana dal is also known as Split Bengal Gram or Split Chickpeas . Chana Dal takes a little more time to cook as compared to toor dal....
