Hello Guys! Today I have something special and have a unique recipe to share with you, the Patod recipe. Many of you might not be knowing what is patod and how to prepare at home.
Do not worry! Let me explain.
What is Patod?
Patod is a traditional food of Rajasthan and people love eating it with a cup of tea as a snack. It is made using arbi leaves, besan with different Indian spices.
But the patod recipe I am going to share is a little different than the regular ones. It is because I want to make dishes in a healthier manner by reducing the amount of oil going into them.
Traditionally, patod is a kind of Pakoda made of Arbi leaves. You need to fry them to prepare.
But to maintain my diet routine I have come up with a different version that does not require deep-frying.
My version needs a little oil just to bake these arbi slabs and then enjoy it as an evening snack in a healthier manner.
So, let’s get started with the patod recipe
