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!
