This was a recipe which I was planning to make for a long time.I enjoy these very often when my colleagues bring these awesome snacks packed from their home.its  a fabulous recipe for Vegans specially, packed with nutrition and flavors and even for non-vegetarians it will not let one  feel the absence of meat.Alu means colocasia leaves in Marathi.The colocasia leaves here are stuffed with spicy chickpea flour and then steamed and finally seasoned.Because of unknown problem my stepwise pics seems to be deleted.But soon I am going to make these again so I promise to update the post.
