Patoli/Patole also known as Patolya in Marathi is a steamed delicacy made in Maharashtra especially during Ganesh Chaturthi. This
delicious dish is made by coconut-jaggery filled rice batter that is steamed in the fragrant turmeric leaves. This amazingly tasty
Patoli has an aroma that lingers. The taste of this Patoli is similar to that of steamed modak but the aroma it gains from the turmeric leaves
makes it different. Dishes similar to Patoli are: Dind, Neveri, Ukadiche Modak, Badam Halwyache Modak.
