Making homemade Patha - a little bit of work but in the end tasted better than ready made!

Gaithree, we make the same thing in Trinidad, but the batter is ground split peas and we call it Saheena, and eat it with mango chutney. ❤❤I never put it in the oven, only deep fried, but I got the idea from you now. Thanks

Would love to try it if you have a recipe to share.

Wow this was so awesome to watch, now I know the ingredients used, and yes Mrs Devi hands work better then mixer, your pantha looks better then Fatima, the way you worked your mix and wrap was classic, you need the star 🌟I will not attempt this, I also never knew they used tamarind,,,, fond memories of your late mom, did the tester enjoy it, I wish I played his part 😊but thank you Mrs Devi, you are classic,

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

The tester did enjoy! We use fathimas because we can’t always get the leaves to make the patha but it’s also very good 👍🏽

Aunty, I live in Melbourne, and you remind me of home in so many ways. My dad's family lived in Umzinto and my dad taught in Sezela in the late 60s or early 70s. My kaki used to make patha very much like you. I think she added mashed banana to avoid the patha cutting the throat. She used to fold the sides in before rolling to try to make the roll more even in thickness. The way you steamed the patha took me back to my mum's kitchen. She also wrapped a cloth around the lid. IIRC it was from the soft bags that flour came in in the old days. We used to put bricks on the lid to stop the steam escaping. Lots of love and 🙏 🤲.

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

Yes this is how we learnt from my mom as well. Do you recall the Seevnarain family from Sezela?

[@tyian5464]

Wow just love your receipes and culture. Talking about the Sezela village my grandparents we're from there so what a small world. Their names are Peter and Shushiela so they pass their regards ❤

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

Thanks so much. My maiden name was Seevnarain so ask them perhaps if they knew of the Seevnarain family from Sezela. We were there until about the late 1970s

[@charmainenaicker5857]

Wow aunty, what a beautiful explaination, I never knew it was such a long process to make it. Thank you for teaching us. Appreciate you🙏

Looks soooooo delicious. Thanks for sharing Aunty Lallie. Reminds me of the good old days when my late Mum used to make patha at home. I don't remember eating any store-bought pathas in those days though.

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

We eat a mix now. The plant at my sons house is still small so doesn’t produce a lot of leaves. There’s something about the home made that just makes it better hey!

[@varshasookdhaw2693]

[@chotaconhyedoss2657]

Hello Sweet Mama! 🙏 These are these huge taro leaves which in Mauritius we call brede songe. There are many ways that these taro greens can be prepared and the most common way that we prepare them in Mauritius is to stew them with some light spices, tomatoes and sometimes tamarind. Some people also add chickpeas or brown chickpeas to them.On a sidenote, a little taro leaf tidbit. There is a saying in the Mauritian language that says “dilo lor brede songe” which means “water on the taro leaf” or more precisely referring to the state of being like the taro leaf where water cannot wet it.So, this expression is often used in a situation where for example someone is experiencing some negative criticism that is mostly inflicted out of spite by someone else. This saying serves as a reminder to remain like the taro leaf, that is being unaffected by the situation and be able to rise above it.🥰

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

Hello Chota! That is such an important saying, especially in this day and age. Be like the taro leaf is to water...and let it all flow by...

[@cynthiamatthews6057]

Wow beautiful explanation thank you

[@thelibraryismyhappyplace1618]

[@sushiegovender8151]

Good day mum once again awesome step by step recipe thank you love all your content also the older generation used to make a sort of kanji keera curry with these leaves made very very karrow (tamil) not if knows the recipe

[@sushiegovender8151]

tried most of your recipes and hazel all was a success

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

Yes, correct, I wanted to mention that these leaves can also be made into a sour herbs curry. Also, I am not sure if you have tried this, but the patha can be made into a curry like fish curry - very tasty...

[@sushiegovender8151]

no my gramma should make this curry also lengthy process but will try patta in sour fish curry recipe thank you again

[@ashajagaroo8576]

Love puri patha. If only the leaves were readily available. I prefer home made patha. The store bought ones cut the inside of my mouth.

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

This one didn't cut at all. Pranesh is more sensitive to the patha and some can be very hard. I think it is a combination of the vinegar and lemon juice as well as controlling the amount of leaves used and ensuring a thorough steam that makes this one more pleasant to the taste.
