vine leaves?
3 Answers
Hi theres an Indian (Gujarati) food called Pathra which is basically a large leaf stuffed,rolled,cut up and fried or steamed. I think its some sort of vine leaf, but does anyone know for sure what leaf or its botanical name?
I seem to have developed an allergy to it. The leaves are bought fresh without labels, so I cant check there :S

Using taro leaf
Taro leaves must be boiled for at least 45 minutes before consuming. Why? Because small, crystal-like pieces of calcium oxalate irritate the mouth and tongue when not fully cooked. Even then, some irritation may be noted.
