Patrode

The arbi leaves are used to make the pahari meal, patrode. One of the most well-known afternoon tea snacks in the hills, you may even enjoy the snack with your evening meal. Colocasia leaves and besan (gram flour) are used to prepare this. The besan and spice mixture is wrapped around the leaves, formed into little rolls, steamed, and then sliced into slices for deep- or shallow-frying. In the southern region of the nation, when rice is used instead of besan, patrode is also known as patravade.
