Alu vadi or patra ( rolls made with colocasia leaves) is a very popular side dish or a snack item among maharashtrians and gujarathis. Usually this is made with a filling of gram flour or soaked n ground tuvar daal. I had already made this alu wadi earlier with onions and gram flour filling .
This time for the Shhhh Cooking Secretly I was paired with Saras who has a lovely blog sarasyummybites and she had given me potatoes and daal as secret ingredients for this month. So I decided to give this traditional snack a twist by making a filling of gram flour and boiled potatoes.
The result was very yummy and soft alu wadis which we all enjoyed .For step wise explaination and how to apply the filling and roll please refer to my previous post for alu-wadi.
