Patra is a flavorful dish originating from Gujarati cuisine in India, made using colocasia (taro) leaves rolled with a spicy, tangy gram flour mixture. The batter typically includes ingredients like chickpea flour, turmeric, chili powder, sesame seeds, and jaggery, which contribute to its unique sweet and savory profile. Once rolled, the leaves are steamed, sliced, and often fried for added crispiness. Patra is rich in fiber due to the taro leaves, which support digestion, and the chickpea flour provides protein and essential nutrients. It is also a good source of iron, potassium, and vitamins like A and C. However, if fried or prepared with excess oil, its calorie count can increase, making moderation key for those monitoring their fat intake. Despite this, Patra remains a nutritious, plant-based appetizer or snack rooted in traditional Indian flavors.
