Chamaku Snacks

Hi Viewers



Recently I have posted Chamaku Potlala Fry. I think every one of you tried  by yourself and tasted. Today  I thought of preparing wrapped snack with chamaku. Normally these are available in Monsoon.

Use young , fresh chama leaves not which are itchy.

OK Let us go to prepare chamaku snacks.

Ingredients
  • Fresh Chamaku /Patra Bajia
  • Oil
  • Salt
For Masala
  • Besan flour/Sanaga pindi
  • Ginger garlic paste
  • Red chilli powder
  • Daniya powder
  • Green chillies
  • Turmeric powder
  • Tamarind juice
  • Sugar           
How I did it
  1. Wash chamaku leaves and dry using kitchen napkin.
  2. Cut the stem, it is easy to lay flat.
  3. It is comfortable for you if you place the leaf with the tip facing towards you i.e. upside down.
  4. Slice the middle and fibrous veins  gently.
  5. Mean time fry besan with 2 to 3 drops of oil and transfer into a bowl.
  6. Add all ingredients shown above and salt to taste.
  7. Mix it with tamarind water and make paste.
  8. Consistency should be like dosa batter.
  9. Flip the leaf and place it on the surface of kitchen platform or plate.
  10. Apply this masala paste on the back side of the leaf like thin layer.
  11. Fold it gently as shown in the picture.
  12. Take dosa pan, let it heat on medium heat.
  13. Place masala applied and folded chama leaves on the pan.
  14. Sprinkle little oil.
  15. Cook and roast them on low flame.
  16. Flip it add little oil and cook till turns golden brown.








It goes well with white rice and as a good combination side dish for sambar and rasam.
You can eat as snack also.

Nutritional info

  1. Taro/Aalu leaves offer Vitamin 'A' and 'C'.

My Note

  2. Can fold chamaku with any left over curry, just spread the curry, fold , roast and taste it.
  3. You  can cook these leaves with combination of tour dal and moog dal also.
