Ingredients

• 500 g Colocasia root (arbi)
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
• 1 medium, finely chopped Tomato
• 1 teaspoon Ginger paste
• 1 teaspoon Garlic paste
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Cilantro leaves
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Wash the colocasia roots thoroughly to remove any dirt or grime. Boil them in a pot with enough water to cover the roots. Cook until they're tender but not mushy, approximately 8-10 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly.

Step 2

Once cooled, peel the skin off and cut into thick slices or rounds.

Step 3

In a large pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add finely chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.

Step 5

Mix in the ginger and garlic paste, sauté for another minute until the raw smell disappears.

Step 6

Add chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften and the oil starts to separate from the mixture.

Step 7

Stir in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 8

Add the boiled and sliced colocasia to the pan. Mix well with the spices and cook for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend and the colocasia to get a bit crispy.

Step 9

Sprinkle garam masala over the top and toss everything gently.

Step 10

Turn off the heat and garnish with chopped cilantro leaves and a drizzle of lemon juice before serving.

Step 11

Serve hot with roti, paratha, or steamed rice.
