Patra is a traditional Indian dish made from colocasia leaves, also known as arbi leaves. The leaves are layered with a spiced gram flour mixture, rolled up, and then steamed or cooked. This dish is popular in various regions of India, especially in Maharashtra and Gujarat, where it is often served as a snack or side dish. The preparation of Patra involves a unique technique of spreading the spiced mixture on the leaves, rolling them tightly, and slicing them into rounds before cooking. It is typically enjoyed with chutneys or yogurt, making it a flavorful addition to meals or a tasty tea-time snack.
