Patoleos/Patolis/Pathoyo Recipe

Patoleos/Patolis pronounced as "pathoyo" or "pathoyee" is a Traditional Goan/Mangalorean tea time snack which is prepared in most Goan/Mangalorean homes, on 15th August, in order to celebrate the feast of The Assumption of The Blessed Virgin Mary into Heaven.  It is made out of Rice batter and stuffed with grated coconut and jaggery, wrapped in Turmeric leaves and steamed. Since turmeric leaves are not available here in Dubai, two of my close buddies, Cynthia Fernandes(Cyn) & Vincent Jelkie(VJ), brought them for me all the way from their garden back home in Belgaum, India.  When Patoleos/Patolis are being prepared at home, the entire house is filled with a sweet, strong Aroma of the Turmeric leaves. I can bet you can't just eat one and get away with it!  This post is dedicated to my buddies, Cyn & VJ!
