Monsoon is the time, we relish our dose of Colocasia leaves, which is known as "Kesavu" in Kannada. Coastal people relish Patrode, which is a rice batter smeared steam cooked rolls. Apart from this we usually relish its chutney and with mix veg curry as well.
It goes very well with hot rice with a dollop of ghee or coconut oil. Colocasia leaves has many names in India. It is known as Taro leaves, Arbi leaves, pathra leaves, Alu chi bhaji, kesavina ele and so on. Every state has its own specialty with this iron rich leaves.
Because it tends to get itchy, we need to add sufficient amount of tamarind and it should get balanced with the taste.
If you learn the trick of this, half the battle is won, and you can master the art of cooking this leaf for sure. In our traditional preparation, we do use bird eye chilli for this chutney and if you don’t have access, you can use normal green chilli as well.
