Low Fat Healthy Quinoa Patra
About Low Fat Healthy Quinoa Patra
Patra (Alu Vadi) is a steamed vegetable leaf roll recipe with the aloo or colocasia leaves rolled up one after another after getting smeared with a besan paste. These aloo patras are then cut into small spices and then steamed or deep fried as desired.
Here giving a more healthier twist, I'm using Quinoa flour too, which is adding more nutritious value in this dish.
