A simple gujarati snack that I clearly remember making with my mum when I was young. We had several trays ready to spread the mixture because if its not spread while the mixture is hot it becomes hard. I for one, was not so keen on pathudi, it was clearly a dish loved by my siblings, but it seems that my taste buds have changed and I cant understand why I never liked. Its great with a few drops of lemon and a nice cup of tea.
What you need:
250ml gram flour
250ml plain yoghurt
5ml salt
250ml water
5ml crushed green chillies
3ml crushed ginger
3ml crushed garlic
2.5ml sugar
5ml lemon juice
What to do:
Mix all ingredients together and beat with an egg beater. Pour into a pot and continue to mix well till it boils. The mixture will need constant mixing so that no lumps are formed. Lower heat and continue stirring for 5-6minutes. Spread on surface or trays,like the picture below.
Vagaar
Heat 40ml oil in a small pan. Add 5ml mustard seeds,15ml sesame seeds. When it starts to splutter remove from the heat. Pour half of the mixture over spreaded patudi and sprinkle with coconut. Cut about 50mm strips. Roll the strips like swiss rolls,picture shown below. Arrange on a platter. Garnish with the leftover mustard and sesame seeds and finely chopped coriander.
