The turmeric leaves appear only during the monsoon season and it is kind of a tradition to prepare this sweet snack.  It was made this morning.

Help yourself. turmppatoli

@bestwriter what’s the name of the snack? i have never seen this before! In fact, I never knew that there’s a dish involving turmeric leaves.

@shaloo walia  I do not think there is an English translation but we call it ‘patholi’  Ground rice is spread on the leaf,  filled with jaggery and coconut stuffing and steamed.

@ bestwriter wow! Never ever heard of it. We have so many vegetarian dishes and sweets. A couple of years ago, Art of Living foundation had organized an event in Gujarat during Diwali where 5000 types of vegetarian dishes were made & later distributed among the people.

@shaloo walia  I make them because we had them when we were kids. I have kept in touch with whatever I got to eat cooked by mother.

Turmeric leaves? I know turmeric is quite harsh in taste the leaves are also eaten okay this is a new one. but I know Indians like spicy food so I guess that wouldn’t be a problem for them

@Anitah Gimase   Here turmeric leaves are not eaten. The stuff is wrapped in them  for their aroma
