Chittye paan/ Spotted taro leaf plant/Colocasia Esculenta grows wild all over the Konkan and Kerala coasts as well as on the Western Ghats. The magnificent green leaves adorned with red patches and white dote are a feast to one's eyes. These fritters taste wonderful with rice and dal.
Ingredients
1/2 cup Rice flour
1/2 cup roasted Urad Dal powder
6 tsp Chilli powder
1 tsp Hing ( Assafoetida )
Salt to Taste
Colocasia Leaves (spotted)
Procedure
Mix all the ingredients (except the leaves) with water and make a thick paste.
Apply this paste over a leaf, then place one more leaf over this and apply the paste over it.
Continue this process with 8-10 leaves.
Now fold the sides of these layers of leaves and roll them tightly into a log.
Cut the log into small pieces.
Roll these in rice flour and deep fry them.
Keeping the roll/ Log in the deep freezer for one hour helps to cut the pieces neatly.
