Patra - Pallika

I haven't made these in years, so please let me know if there are changes in this recipe. I'm writing from my memory of how mummy taught me.

Wash, clean and wipe dry the Patra leaves. Remove stems and thick veins. For the batter, mix besan, salt, tamarind juice, Gud, turmeric powder, red chilli powder and a pinch of garam masala. Make a thick batter. With your hands, paint the batter on the leaves, layer two leaves, and make sure there' enough batter between and over each later. Then roll it tightly. Steam till the batter sets. Cut into slices. Heat oil, add mustard seeds, hing, Tal, and add the patra slices, and saute till slightly crispy.
