Ingredients:
Then roll the leaf from the pointed side until the other end and finally close the two ends and steam for 10 minutes.

Mmmm, yummy! I had tried these once and they had come out quite well. But never got down to making it again, your post is now inspiring me to give it a shot again. Your patras seem to have come out perfect, how I wish I could pick a piece right away :)
ReplyDeleteExcellent snack, feel like munching some.
ReplyDeleteDivya this is another recipe that I have tried and failed!
ReplyDeleteYours looks delicious!
Got the leaves from the Indian grocery but it still ended up irritating my throat. I know that the lemon juice is added to prevent it. Any other suggestions?
I am nostalgic looking at this,..:)
