Blush Patra Bites Recipe
#Mumbai
This vibrant and flavorful Patra (also known as Alu Vadi) is a modern take on a beloved traditional snack from Western India. Made with a wholesome blend of Aashirvaad Besan (gram flour) and Aashirvaad Suji (semolina), the batter is spread over fresh colocasia leaves, then carefully rolled, steamed, and air-fried for a light yet crispy finish — no deep frying needed!
What makes this version truly special is the stunning pink chutney on the side — a cooling blend of curd, coconut milk, and boiled beetroot, gently spiced with cumin and green chili. It adds not just a pop of color but also a creamy, tangy contrast to the savory patra.
Finished with a fragrant tempering of mustard, sesame, and curry leaves, and garnished with fresh coconut and coriander, this dish brings together tradition and innovation on one plate — perfect for guilt-free snacking, festive platters, or tea-time treats.
