👨🍳 निर्देश
- 1
Blanch the bele leaves by plunging them into boiling water for 30 seconds, then immediately transfer to ice water. Drain well.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Blanching makes the leaves pliable for wrapping. - 2
In a pan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the chopped roasted nuts, diced vara, curry leaves, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until fragrant.

Stir in the chopped coriander and watercress. Cook for another minute, then remove from heat.

Lay two blanched bele leaves flat, overlapping slightly. Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling mixture in the center of the leaves.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Ensure the filling is not too bulky to allow for neat wrapping. - 5
Fold the sides of the bele leaves over the filling, then roll them up tightly to form a wrap. Repeat with the remaining leaves and filling.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: If leaves are small, use 3 leaves per wrap. - 6
To make the dressing, combine the pureed sour sop or passionfruit, lemon juice, honey, and chilli flakes in a small bowl. Whisk until well combined.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Adjust sweetness and spice to your preference. - 7
Arrange the bele wraps on a serving platter. Drizzle the dressing over the wraps just before serving.
