Diwali Special- Manjol Eeretha Ghatti/ Sweet Rice Dumpling Steamed in Turmeric leaves

Diwali and no Manjol Eeretha Ghatti......no way....Diwali is incomplete without this for us Mangaloreans.

Aroma of turmeric leaves being steamed is unforgettable.

I had a hard time getting a nice picture of the ghatti...this was best among the worst....though ghatti tastes amazing.....they are not great lookers ...but who cares ....taste matters ....right....

  6. We call it patholi. And I have been dreaming of it for years now. I do not want to substitute the turmeric leaves with banana leaves. And till I get my hands on them, I shall drool over pictures like this!
