Ingredients

• 500 grams Arbi (taro root)
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 pinch Asafoetida
• 1 teaspoon Ginger paste
• 2 Green chilies, slit
• 2 teaspoons Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Amchur (dried mango powder)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves, chopped
• 250 milliliters Water

Directions

Step 1

Wash the arbi thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt.

Step 2

In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add the arbi. Boil until they are partially cooked, around 10 minutes. Do not overcook.

Step 3

Drain the boiled arbi and let it cool slightly. Peel the outer skin and cut into bite-sized pieces.

Step 4

Heat vegetable oil in a pan on medium heat. Add cumin seeds and allow them to sizzle.

Step 5

Add a pinch of asafoetida followed by ginger paste and slit green chilies. Sauté for a minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the arbi pieces to the pan and toss them gently to coat with the oil and spices.

Step 7

Sprinkle coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, amchur, and salt over the arbi.

Step 8

Mix everything carefully to coat the arbi well with the spice mix. Be gentle to avoid mashing the arbi.

Step 9

Pour in the water and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the arbi to absorb the flavors and soften.

Step 10

Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and add a little more water if necessary to achieve the desired consistency.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped coriander leaves before serving.

Step 12

Serve hot with chapati, paratha, or steamed rice.
