Step By Step Recipe Of Making Alu Vadi from Colocasia  Leaves

Here are some of the health benefits of including ‘Taro Leaves’ in your diet…

  1. The needed percentage of the daily dietary needs of Vitamin C, of a child (1 – 10 yrs) is fulfilled by one serving (about ½ cup) of cooked taro leaves.
  2. The leaves contain a good amount of fiber that is useful for the digestion
    process. This helps to eliminate wastes from the body and prevent re-occurrence of gas.
  3. They have a Low Glycemic Index, and this is very good for diabetic people.

Here is a simple snack recipe made with taro leaves. It’s called ‘Alu Wadi’.

Alu Wadi Patra alu vadi recipe

During the month of Shravan, at the time of the Ganpati festival, at the time when non-vegetarian dishes are avoided, Alu Wadis come to the rescue.

People have them as a side dish with their dal-rice, and they taste superb. You should definitely try this recipe. You can even refrigerate the steamed roll for a week, and whenever you feel like having them, you can cut them from the roll and fry them.

In one of the TV shows they were referring to Alu Wadi as Indian Pasta. I think Alu Wadis are a lot healthier than plain flour pasta. They can even be shallow fried. Some people eat them just by adding some tempering over steamed wadis.

Here is one more recipe called ‘Aluche Fadfade‘ made with these superb nutrient-rich green leaves. Do try to include them once a week in your diet.
