Alu wadi is a roll made of colocasia leaves stuffed with bengal gram filling.These leaves are called 'Alu' in konkani, so the traditional nameof this dish is alu vadi.This leaves are usualy grown in rainy season in goa. They are used for many festivals. A special vegetable dish is made from them for goan festivals. I will post that recipe later. This aluvadi is a tast snack liked by all.I had prepared this recently so i am posting its recipe.
Colocasia Leaves
4-5 fresh colocasia leaves
2 cups chana dal soaked
1/2 cup fresh grated coconut
2 onions finely chopped
1 table spoon garam masala
1 table spoon chilli powder
2-3 table spoon jaggery
oil
salt
METHOD:
Wash the colacasia leaves and dry them so that no water droplets remain on them.Grind the chana dal using very little water to form a course paste.
Now take it in a bowl and add garam masala, chilli powder, salt, grated coconut and jaggery. Mix well ,add water if required.Paste should be thick enough. It should not flow. Now add chopped onions. Mix again.
Now keep a colocasia leaf on a plate. Apply the chana dal mixture all over it to form a uniform layer of medium thickness. Roll the leaf to form a roll. Do not leave gaps in between, roll it carefully.Reapeat the same with the remaining leaves.
Now steam this rolls for 20 mins.The stuffed mixture hardens up after steaming, and the leaf becomes soft.Let them cool.After cooling cut them into slices of medium thickness,around half inch.
Heat oil in a kadia. Deep fry this cut roll slices in oil till dark brown and crispy.This rolls do not suck more oil.Remove them.
Serve Hot.
NOTE: Besan can be used insted of chana dal directly in the mixture. But mixture made of chana dal tastes good then besan.
Add amount of spices according to your taste. If you want you can make the paste more spicy.
Preparation Time:30 mins
