Steamed Spinach Rolls

#tech1 - Steamed Spinach Rolls are almost similar to Patra, a very popular Gujarati snack. It is generally made with arbi (colocasia) leaves. But I tried it with some spinach leaves. The batter should be a little chatpata - sweet, sour and spicy. It is quite a healthy snack as it is steamed.

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Make a paste with the gram flour and all the other ingredients (except the spinach leaves) with the help of some water. The batter should be thick.

* Step 2

Take a spinach leaf and smear the paste over it. Take another and smear some of the paste on it in the same manner. Place it over the first one.

* Step 3

Similarly smear the paste on 5-6 leaves and stack them one over the other. Fold them securely. Make similar rolls and steam them on a greased container / plate for 20 minutes.

* Step 4

They can be steamed in a pressure cooker too without the vent. When cool, cut them into 1/2 inch slices and have them with kasundi / chutney as a tea time snack.
