patra - made from colocasia leaves or elephant ears...

Colocasia leaves or Elephant ears, found in Southeast Asia or Polynesia are the basic part of this recipe. As poi is to Hawaii , Patra is to the people of Gujarat State In India. <br />The dish is prepared by layering the leaves of colocasia slathered by a chickpea flour batter and then steamed. They taste so delish even steamed with some oil on side. They can be eaten three ways either steamed, steamed and sauteed or steamed and deep fried. Recently I have been to Hawaii , and someone from Hawaii showed me a picture of Colocasia leaves, saying have you ever seen Elephant Ears. So , Wayde here goes the recipe for you. I have seen the big Colocasia leaves and even tasted them since birth..Aloha and Mahalos...lolz..Btw this is my father-in-laws favorite dish.
