TURMERIC LEAVES PATHOLI/ HALDI KOLYACHI PATHOLI ( SWEET RICE ROLLS STEAMED IN TURMERIC LEAVES)


This sweet reminds me my childhood days when we used to return hungry from school & could smell the divine fragrance of turmeric leaves from far.  We siblings would just throw our school bags & run to the kitchen to relish these delicious patholis. 


All such traditional dishes remind me my sweet mom who used to prepare such dishes often.


This dish is usually prepared during monsoon season when turmeric leaves are available in large numbers. 


This is a healthy,  oil free sweet with the goodness of turmeric leaves. 


Ground rice paste is applied to the leaves , stuffed with jaggery coconut mixture in the centre & steamed. 


The divine aroma of turmeric leaves just spreads through entire house while steaming these delicious patholis. 


Here is a step by step recipe to prepare this monsoon delicacy. 


RECIPE:

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1/2 kg boiled rice
  • 1 grated coconut
  • 1/2 kg jaggery (use as per your choice)
  • 1/4tsp cardamom powder
  • Salt to taste
  • 20-25 turmeric leaves. 

Method:



Soak boiled rice for minimum 6 hours, add salt to taste & grind to fine thick paste.   Add only required quantity water while grinding to obtain this fine thick consistency. 


Ground rice paste. 


Mix coconut, grated jaggery & cardamom & keep aside. 


Wash, clean & pat dry the turmeric leaves.  
Spread little batter from  stem side moving towards the tip of the leaf. 


Make sure the batter is spread as thin as possible. 


Place the  sweet coconut mixture in the  centre of the leaves as shown in the picture. 


Fold vertically. Gently press all the edges to seal the batter well. You can fold it horizontally too. 

Boil enough water in the steaming vessel. 


Place all the patholis in the steaming vessel. 
Cover & cook for 25-30 minutes. 


Steamed patholis are ready.

Slightly cool &  peel off the leaf & enjoy with evening tea with your loved ones.

Mutton Green Masala This is one of the oldest & most common recipes of Mangalorean cuisine.  This quick & easy curry is a perfect blend of aromatic spices and has a freshness and flavours of herbs like coriander & mint leaves.  This flavourful green curry goes extremely well with sanna, neeru dosa/ panpole, appams and even with roti, chapathi or boiled rice. My family loves it with soft silky neeru dosas/panpole.  The soup of mutton makes this curry so glossy ,  flavourful and aromatic.  This same masala can be used for chicken too.  Please note: Use spices as per your preference.  Cooking time of mutton depends on the quality of meat. Tender meat cooks faster.  Recipe: For 1/2 kg Mutton 2 potatoes, 2 carrots ( optional) Ingredients for Masala: 5 green chillies 1" ginger 6-8 flakes of garlic 1 /2 tsp pepper 1/2 tsp jeera 1/4 tsp coriander seeds 5 cloves 1" cinnamon 1/4 tsp fennel seeds 1 star anise 1 cardamom 1/2 tsp poppy ...

Chicken Jiren Mirin Curry This is one of the oldest & most common recipes of mangalorean cuisine.  I still feel the aroma of this curry from my grandmother's & mom's kitchen.  Whenever we visited our grandmother, she used to prepare this curry with her own country chicken (naati koli) and serve it with hot crispy rice bakri.  The taste , aroma & grandmother's love  is just unforgettable.  This curry can be prepared very easily as very few basic ingredients are required to prepare this yummy curry. Here we use less red long chillies to enhance the flavour of other spices.   This curry is called jiren-mirin curry as jiren(jeera) & mirin(pepper) are the main ingredients which gives authentic flavour & taste to this dish.   Here we use less chillies as more pepper is added to the masala.  This curry goes extremely well with sanna, dosa, appams, panpole, chapathi and even with plain rice.  This same masala...
