Ingredients
- 500 grams Arbi (Taro root)
- 2 tablespoons Mustard oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 pinch Asafoetida (Hing)
- 1 medium, chopped Green chili
- 1 inch, grated Ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Amchur (dry mango) powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh coriander leaves
Directions
Step 1
Begin by rinsing the arbi (taro root) thoroughly under running water. Place them in a pressure cooker with enough water to cover the arbi, and cook for 1 whistle on medium heat.
Step 2
Release the pressure naturally, then drain the arbi and let them cool slightly. Peel the arbi and cut them into thick slices or rounds.
Step 3
Heat mustard oil in a non-stick pan or a heavy-bottomed skillet until it starts to sizzle.
Step 4
Add cumin seeds and allow them to splutter, then add a pinch of asafoetida (hing).
Step 5
Add chopped green chili and grated ginger, sautéing for about 1-2 minutes until they are fragrant.
Step 6
Introduce the sliced arbi to the pan and stir gently to coat them well with the spices.
Step 7
Sprinkle turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt over the arbi, and mix well to combine all the spices evenly.
Step 8
Cook the arbi on low to medium flame, turning occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes until they become golden and crisp on the edges.
Step 9
Finally, sprinkle amchur powder for a tangy touch and give it a final mix.
Step 10
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves and serve hot as a side dish with rice or roti.
