Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Taro root (Arbi)
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon Asafoetida (Hing)
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves
Instructions
Wash and scrub the taro roots (arbi) thoroughly to remove any dirt. Peel them using a vegetable peeler and cut them into medium-sized chunks.
In a large pan, heat 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds and allow them to crackle.
Add 0.25 teaspoon of asafoetida (hing) and stir briefly.
Add the taro root pieces to the pan and stir well to coat with the spices.
Sprinkle 0.5 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 0.5 teaspoon of red chili powder, and 1 teaspoon of coriander powder over the taro root.
Add 1.5 teaspoons of salt and stir the ingredients to evenly distribute the spices.
Pour 0.25 cup of water into the pan, cover with a lid, and reduce the heat to low. Allow the taro to cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and fully cooked. Add more water if needed to prevent sticking.
Once the taro root is tender and cooked through, remove the lid and increase the heat slightly to evaporate any remaining water while stirring gently.
Garnish with 2 tablespoons of fresh, chopped coriander leaves and give it a final stir.
Serve hot as a side dish with your choice of bread or rice.
