Aalu Vadi, also known as Patra, is a popular snack from Gujarati and Maharashtrian cuisine in India. It is made using colocasia leaves (known as arbi or taro leaves) layered with a spiced gram flour (besan) batter, rolled tightly, steamed, and then sliced. The rolls are often shallow-fried for added crispness, enhancing their flavor and texture. Packed with spices like turmeric, cumin, and coriander, along with tamarind for tanginess, Aalu Vadi boasts a bold and savory taste. Colocasia leaves are rich in dietary fiber, calcium, and antioxidants, making them a nutritious base. However, the dish can be calorie-dense when fried due to added oil content. This snack is a good source of plant-based protein from gram flour and offers vitamins from the leaves, but moderation is key when consumed as part of a balanced diet.
