Red chili powder (optional) 2-3 tsp
Garam masala1/4 tbsp

Serving Size: 4
Preparation
- Wash Arbi leaves and pat dry. Now cut the hard stems making sure you don't cut the leaves. Lay them over a flat work surface.
- In a bowl, mix together all dry ingredients first. Then mix ginger garlic and green chili paste and a little water, just enough to make a very thick paste.
- Now lay down one Arbi leave(light color upside), and coat it with a layer of the gram flour paste.
- Place another leaf on top of it and repeat the same for all the leaves.
- Before rolling the leaves into a roll, fold it from both the sides(lengthwise) to avoid paste dripping from sides.
- Tie the roll with a thread to avoid opening.
- Steam cook the prepared roll for 10 min. Check with a toothpick if it comes out clean, it's cooked.
- Cool it at room temperature and cut equal pieces as shown in picture. Don't attempt to cut it while still hot, you will end up with broken pieces.
- In a frying pan, heat a lil oil, add mustard seeds and let it sputter. Now add the arbi pakoda pieces and fry them on both sides.
- Arbi Ke Patte ke Pakode are ready to be served with green chutney or tomato ketchp.
