Ingredients

• 500 grams Arbi (Colocasia Roots)
• 2 tablespoons Mustard Oil
• 1 teaspoon Cumin Seeds
• 1 pinch Asafoetida (Hing)
• 1 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
• 2 teaspoons Coriander Powder
• 1 teaspoon Red Chili Powder
• 1 teaspoon Dry Mango Powder (Amchur)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh Coriander Leaves
• 2 Green Chilies
• 1 inch piece Ginger

Directions

Step 1

Wash the arbi thoroughly under running water. Boil it in a pressure cooker with water for about 2 whistles or until it becomes tender but not mushy. Allow it to cool, then peel off the skin, and cut into thick slices.

Step 2

Heat mustard oil in a non-stick pan until it reaches the smoking point. Reduce the flame and allow it to cool slightly before adding the cumin seeds and asafoetida.

Step 3

Add the slit green chilies and grated ginger. Sauté them for a few seconds on medium heat until aromatic.

Step 4

Stir in the turmeric powder, coriander powder, and red chili powder. Fry the spices for a minute but be cautious not to burn them.

Step 5

Add the sliced arbi to the pan. Gently mix to coat the arbi with the spice mixture. Ensure the pieces are well coated without breaking them.

Step 6

Sprinkle salt and dry mango powder over the arbi. Mix well and cook on a medium flame for 10-15 minutes, occasionally stirring to prevent sticking. Allow the spices to blend and the sabzi to become crispy.

Step 7

Once done, transfer to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves.

Step 8

Serve hot with chapati or as a side dish for a complete meal.
