Aloo Vadi
                                   Colocasia Leaf Rolls With flavoured Chick Pea Flour

This is a very flavoursome snack dish, we call it Aloo Vadi. I make it in two ways, one with jaggery and another one without, all other ingredients being the same in both varieties. Loved by all in my family. Hope you too like it.

Ingredients
15 leaves of coclocasia or Aloochi paan, specify to the vendor that they are for vadis.

These ingredients to be made into a mix for smearing on each leaf
3 cups of chick pea flour
1 tspn of coriander powder
3 tspns of tamarind pulp
1/2 cup grated jaggery
1 tspn of chilli powder
1/4 tspn of asafoetida
Salt as per taste

Method
First clean the leaves, remove the stalks, remove the middle vein of the leaf which is hard. Keep them ready. Take all the ingredients for the mix in a mixing bowl, mix well, add water to make a semi thick paste. Now keep each leaf upside down smear with the paste, keep another leaf in a similar way, apply paste, in this way make a layer of five leaves and now roll up. Make three rolls of the fifteen leaves. Steam the rolls in a cooker or an idli steamer. Remove, cool and cut as shown in the  picture. I like them fried crisp. Some people also just make a tempering of mustard, asafoetida and sesame seeds, sprinkle freshly scraped coconut and garnish with chopped coriander and enjoy the snack.
