Comment on Besan Stuffed Taro Leaves Recipe by Nilu.
Hello in fiji we call this SEINA. this is how we make it. :)
Ingredients:
10 taro leaves (washed)
1/2 cup uradh dhal (soaked overnight)
1/2 onion (optional)
Juice of 1 lime
3 chilies
3 cloves garlic
1 tspn. salt
Method:
Grind dhal. Add lime juice and salt. Make a paste of garlic, onion and chilies and add to ground dhal. Smear dhal paste on the wrong side of a taro leaf. Take another leaf, put paste on and place the second leaf on top of the first one. Repeat spreading the paste on every single leave until about 5 leaves are done. Roll up tightly, plastering loose ends with the dhal paste. Tie with a string and steam for about 30 to 40 minutes. Remove string, cut into 1/2 inch slices and deep fry in good quality oil (preferably olive oil) a couple of minutes each side or until slightly golden.
Note: Serve with any chutney. It can also be served without frying. Can be coated with rice flour and then fried.
