Patra

Location: Bhuj 04/02/11

Description: This is a most bizarre thing. It is sold out of stands that sell both this and a form of lentil bread which I totally failed to try. The body of this dish was made up of a sort of roulard that was made by wrapping a sort of leaf around a thick paste of chickpeas.  It was flavoured with coriander seed and had a most unusual texture. This as I said was rolled in a sort of swiss roll and then cut into slices and in true Gujarati style doused in a sweet, sour, spicy and sticky sauce. This was then put on a plate with more sweet sauce yogurt and crisp fried vermicelli and coriander leave. This was definitely and interesting if not particularly pleasant breakfast experience.
