Discover the Royal Taste of Pateed – A Signature Delicacy by The Famous Halwai
When we talk about Indian regional cuisine, the grandeur of Mughlai, the spices of Chettinad, or the richness of Punjabi dishes often take center stage. But nestled quietly in the lap of the Himalayas is Uttarakhand, home to a culinary tradition that’s subtle, earthy, and deeply connected to nature. Among its lesser-known but beloved dishes is Pateed, a savory delight that is now being lovingly revived by The famous halwai known for staying true to the roots.
What is Pateed?
Pateed (also spelled Patyud in some regions) is a steamed snack made from colocasia leaves (arbi ke patte) smeared with a spiced gram flour (besan) paste, then rolled, steamed, and shallow-fried until golden. Often compared to Gujarat’s patra, the Uttarakhand version has its own distinct flavor—earthy, robust, and reflective of the Pahadi lifestyle.
It’s a seasonal favorite, especially during the monsoons when fresh colocasia leaves are abundant. The simplicity of ingredients—besan, turmeric, red chili, carom seeds (ajwain), and mustard oil—makes it both humble and nutritious.
Reviving Tradition: The Famous Halwai Behind the Culinary Comeback
While modern fast food has made inroads into every Indian city, a legendary halwai in Uttarakhand—[Insert Halwai Name or Placeholder]—has made it his mission to preserve traditional Pahadi recipes like Pateed.
With decades of experience passed down from generations, this halwai isn’t just a sweet maker; he’s a custodian of cultural flavor. Known for his melt-in-the-mouth bal mithai and rich singori, he has now become a household name for reintroducing forgotten snacks like Pateed to younger generations.
“We don’t just serve food; we serve nostalgia,” he says. “Pateed reminds people of their grandparents, of village kitchens, of the hills.”
