        Hello My Glutenfree buddies!!Hope you are fine.

Today I am going to share with you a traditional Gujarati recipe that is Gluten Free and easy to make and very tasty.

Do you know what's Patra ?

    Patra means leaf with stuffing.Here I use Gram Lentil Flour that I made at my home for stuffing with some spices.

    It is made from colocasia leaves(ARVI) Stuffed with Besan(Gram Lentil Flour).

    Colocasia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae, native to southeastern Asia and the Indian subcontinent. Some species are widely cultivated and naturalized in other tropical and subtropical regions.If you want to learn more visit Wikipedia

Homemade Gram Lentils Flour :

• To make Besan(Gram Lentil Flour) at home you just need Gram Lentils(Chana Dal).
• Roast them in a pan at slow gas and then let it cool completely.
• Now grind it to make a smooth powder and if you want you can sieve it to make fine powder.
• And you can use this powder as a cover over Patra.
