Ingredients

• 500 grams Arbi (taro root)
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Whole30-compliant salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Amchur (dried mango powder)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
• 1 medium Green chili
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Thoroughly wash the arbi to remove any dirt. In a large pot, bring water to boil, add the arbi, and cook for about 15-20 minutes until tender but not mushy. Drain and allow to cool for a few minutes.

Step 2

Peel the boiled arbi and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Take care as they can be slippery.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sliced arbi to the skillet, gently spreading them out in a single layer. Stir occasionally and cook for about 10 minutes until they turn golden brown on both sides.

Step 5

Sprinkle turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and Whole30-compliant salt over the arbi. Mix well to coat evenly. Cook for another 5 minutes.

Step 6

Add amchur powder and chopped green chili. Stir gently and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 7

Turn off the heat, add fresh lemon juice and garnish with chopped cilantro. Toss lightly to combine.

Step 8

Serve hot as a side dish or with a salad, adhering to Whole30 guidelines.
