Chembu ella | Taro leaves |Colacasia |Arbi patta Image in shot: Taro leaves | Alu wadi My happiest and first memory, and my introduction to Mumbai food was while staying with this Konkani family as a paying guest at the start of my career with Four Seasons. They were kind enough to share their food with me, so often even when I had opted for only accommodation without food and that was my first meeting with this exotic delicacy, Alu Vadi. These big heart-shaped, deep-veined leaves, with a soft velvety texture, are available throughout the year, but the best time to eat these leaves is now monsoon season. These leaves are used in cooking in almost all tropical and subtropical regions and you'll find traditional dishes that have become a part of their culture. Search the internet for Colocasia leaf recipes and you will be introduced recipes in all colours, with these leaves as the star ingredient or assigned a supporting actor role. In the Philippines, they cook these leaves with coconut milk and spices to create a dish called Laing. In Hawaii, the leaves are called luau and they make various dishes by stuffing and steaming them. No different in India, each state has a star recipe which they righteously swear by from recipes handed down by a generation of moms. The Parsis have a dish names Patrel, the very same dish when you get to Konkani-Maharastra goes by Alu wadi. In Kerala, we make these lovely stews, curries, with these leaves cooked in coconut gravy. This leaf is so adaptable, so versatile, you can add it to your curries with meat or other veggies in it, you can just sautee them with coconut and turmeric, batter fry it, the possibilities are endless and up to your creativity. Although AVOID consuming this leaf RAW. They must be cooked, boiled or baked from 30mins to 1 hour to remove the oxalate content, a natural compound found in them. #cookingwithleaves #cookalongwithchefsandhya #healthylivingblogs #healthyfoodprep #healthylifestyle💚 #cookinghealthyfood #leavestagram #aluvadi #parsipatra #parsifoodculture #maharashtrafooddiairies #maharashtrafoodie #mumbaifooddiaries #mumbaifoodstories #mumbaifoodtrails #taroleaves #colocasia #colocasialeaves https://www.instagram.com/p/CCTNcsepQtD/?igshid=7eyp04xfas1y
