Arbi Patte ke Bhajia

Wash leaves properly and wipe them dry. Cut off the thick stems.

In a bowl, mix besan, rice flour, ginger-green chilli paste, turmeric, red chilli powder, coriander powder, ajwain, sesame seeds, salt and tamarind pulp.

Add water little by little and make a thick, smooth batter.

Place one Arbi leaf upside down. Apply a thin layer of batter over it.

Place another leaf on top and apply batter again. Repeat with 3–4 leaves.

Roll the leaves tightly and steam them for 20–25 minutes until cooked.

Let the roll cool, then cut it into round pieces.

Heat oil in a pan and shallow-fry the pieces until golden and crispy from both sides.
