Ingredients

• 500 grams Arbi (Taro Root)
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
• 1 teaspoon Coriander Seeds
• 1 teaspoon Cumin Seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red Chili Powder
• 1 teaspoon Ginger-Garlic Paste
• 0.25 teaspoon Asafoetida (Hing)
• 1 teaspoon Coriander Powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam Masala
• 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh Coriander Leaves

Directions

Step 1

Wash the arbi thoroughly and boil them in water until they are about 80% cooked, which usually takes about 10 to 12 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly.

Step 2

Peel the arbi and cut them into bite-sized pieces.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the coriander seeds and cumin seeds to the hot oil and allow them to sizzle for about 30 seconds until aromatic.

Step 5

Add the asafoetida and ginger-garlic paste. Saute for about 1 minute till the raw smell goes away.

Step 6

Stir in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and coriander powder, then add the cut arbi pieces. Mix well to coat the arbi with the spices.

Step 7

Cook the arbi on medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes until they turn crispy and are fully cooked. If they stick to the pan, you can sprinkle a little water and continue cooking.

Step 8

Once the arbi is cooked, sprinkle in the garam masala and mix well.

Step 9

Turn off the heat and add the lemon juice, mixing it gently into the sabzi.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving.
