Chama Kura Vada(Patra leaves Vada, Taro root leaves Vada)

Ingredients

Taro root leaves 5-6
Chana dal ½ a cup
Ginger garlic past
Coriander ½ a cup (finely chopped)
Salt to taste
Red chili powder to taste.
  1. Soak chana dal over night .
  2. Coarsely Grind soaked chana dal, ginger garlic paste, salt and red chili powder together.
  3. Mix chopped coriander along with coarsely grinded paste and make small patties.
  4. Now cut each leaf into half width wise and then place the patty inside of each leaf, fold the leaf from all sides so that the patty is fully covered, and then tie the whole patty with thread.
  5. Repeat the above step till you are done with all the patties. Once all the patties are covered with leaf and then tied with thread, keep them a side.
  6. In hot big wide pan heat 2-3 table spoons of oil, add mustered seeds, jeera and then add prepared patties. Cover the pan with lid for 5 min then remove the lid and turn the patties occasionally and wait till the outside of the patties are little brown and crunchy.

    I like to just snack on them ,but you can always mix it with rice and enjoy.
