Ingredients

• 500 grams Taro root (Arbi)
• 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
• 1 medium, finely chopped Tomato
• 2 finely chopped Green chilies
• 1 inch piece, minced Ginger
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Cilantro
• 1 tablespoon Oil
• 1 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Begin by peeling the taro roots and washing them thoroughly to remove any dirt. Cut the taro roots into medium-sized pieces.

Step 2

Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil.

Step 3

Add cumin seeds and allow them to splutter for a few seconds.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and ginger to the pan, sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the chopped green chilies and cook for another minute.

Step 7

Add the chopped tomato and cook until softened, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes.

Step 8

Once the tomato is soft, add the coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for another minute.

Step 9

Add the taro root pieces to the pan, stirring to coat them evenly with the spice mixture.

Step 10

Pour in 1 cup of water, cover the pan, and let it simmer on low heat for about 15-20 minutes, or until the taro root is tender, stirring occasionally.

Step 11

Once cooked, remove the lid and allow any excess water to evaporate, stirring gently to avoid breaking the taro pieces.

Step 12

Garnish with finely chopped cilantro before serving.

Step 13

Serve hot with chapati or rice.
