Patholis are made on August 15 for the feast of Our Lady of Assumption in Mangalorean & Goan houses. I have seen my mom & my mother-in-law making them. I also wanted my children to know this tradition but I couldn’t find turmeric leaves in Toronto, unlike in Bombay where we used to get them in the market. This year I made Patholis after many years because my husband sowed some fresh turmeric roots & grew the plant in our backyard. For my recipe, I didn’t have regular parboiled rice so I used a combination of brown parboiled rice & Idli rice.
Ingredients
For batter
- 10 medium sized Turmeric leaves
- 1 cup brown parboiled rice
- 1 cup Idli rice
- 1/4 cup Jaggery
- Salt to taste
Filling
- 1 cup fresh grated coconut
- 1 cup grated Jaggery
- Cardamon powder (10 cardamons)
Instructions
- Soak rice overnight & in the morning grind the rice & jaggery to thick smooth paste.
- Wash turmeric leaves & dry it with paper towel.
- Mix grated coconut, jaggery & cardamom powder for the filling.
- Dip your fingers in a bowl of water & then spread thin layer of batter paste onto the turmeric leaves (do not spread till the edges).
- Put the filling along the spine & then fold the leaf along the spine & seal the edges.
- Once you have prepared all the Patholis, then boil water in the Steamer.
- Once boiled, spread a muslin cloth & place the patholis. Close the muslin cloth.
- Cover the steamer & steam on high flame for 18-20 mins.
- Remove, cool & enjoy the tasty Patholis
