    Pathrode
    Pathrode is a popular snack from the Konkani Cuisine, few variations are made to this Pathrode and are called as Pathra in the Maharashtrian Gujarati cuisine. The main difference is that in Konkani cuisine Rice flour is used as the main ingredient however in Maharashtrian Cuisine gram flour is used.
    Pathrode is prepared from Colocasia leaves by applying a generous batter prepared from Rice and Coconut and few other flavoring ingredients and then steam cooked. I happened to taste this dish from my colleague and from that day onward I was totally hooked to this dish. I was hunting for Colocasia leaves since then. Few of my friends told it will be available in the Mangalore stores but then I couldn’t find it. It was then I told my mom, she took an extra step and started growing Colocasia plants for me. Within 6 weeks the leaves are ready with full gloom and ready to use in cooking. This is how the Colocasia plants look like.

    Notes

    You can skip the shallow frying part if you don’t perfect, the sliced pathrode with shallow frying as such.
    However shallow frying adds a nice flavor and taste.
    Instead of shallow frying, one more method that is usually followed is tempering the steamed pathrode with a nice tadka.
    Heat a pan with oil and then add mustard seeds Urad Dal, Dry Red Chilli and the Hing, Finally coconut and then add the steamed Pathrode slight mix and had.
    Always use a sharp knife for slicing, else the pathrode might crumble.
