Instructions
To Make Goan Patoleo, first soak the rice in sufficient water for atleast 2 to 3 hours or overnight.
Then drain the water, and grind this rice with little salt to smooth and thick paste.
Preparation for Patoleo Stuffing Mixture
Take a thick bottom pan and heat it, and add goan jaggery with little water (nearly 1/4 cup) and cook on low heat.
Cook this stirring occasionally till the jaggery completely get dissolved.
Then add the grated coconut with a pinch of salt and cook on medium heat. Cook this till the water evaporates and the mixture is thick.
Finally add caradmon powder and mix it very well. Close the heat and let the Patoli Stuffing Mixture cool down.
Prepare Goan Patoleo
Wash the turmeric leaves with water and wipe them with dry clean cloth or paper.
Apply the thick rice paste very smoothly and thinly all over the turmeric leaf. Don't go to the extreme edges.
Now add coconut jaggery mixture all over the rice paste evenly on one side of the turmeric leaf.
After that fold the turmeric leaf nicely, pressing the extreme edges nicely to seal it.
Follow this procedure for all Goan Patolyo leaves (turmeric leaves).
Now place the Goan Patoli leaves (turmeric leaves) in the steamer in groups (based on steamer size) and steam them for 15 - 20 minutes, till the patoleo are properly done and the patoli leaf color changes little.
Remove these patolyo from the steamer and let it cool.
Goan Patoleo is ready to be served. It is served with the leaf either hot or cool.
