Ingredients

• 500 grams Taro root (Arbi)
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
• 2 pieces Green chilies, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the taro root. Slice them into thin, uniform pieces.

Step 2

In a large pan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, add the cumin seeds and mustard seeds. Allow them to splutter for a few seconds.

Step 4

Add the finely chopped green chilies and grated ginger. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the sliced taro root to the pan and stir well to coat them with the oil and spices.

Step 6

Sprinkle the coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt over the taro root. Stir to mix the spices evenly.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan with a lid, and cook for about 20-25 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking, and cook until the taro root becomes tender.

Step 8

Once the taro root is cooked through, add the garam masala and stir well.

Step 9

Turn off the heat and add fresh lemon juice. Mix to incorporate the flavors.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.

Step 11
