This information was given to me by a maharashtrian friend, when i attempted to make patode, the first time.

The instructions on the can say to slice and fry in oil. I instinctively threw in some black mustard seeds and green chilis first. And I also garnished with sesame seeds. This is my very first experience with this dish. I have to say I'm wild about it. That's why I started looking on line and found your site! Fantastic! I think I'll be staying with the canned version for now because I've never seen the fresh leaves in the stores around here, although it's very easy to get the other ingredients. <em>Some friends have tried with collard greens!</em> I found this in my local (Somerville, MA, USA) Indian grocery as “Laxmi Brand Patra - Curried Taro Leaves” packaged in a can from Mumbai.
