Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Arbi (Taro Root)
- 2 tablespoons Ghee
- 1 teaspoon Cumin Seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Mustard Seeds
- 2 Green Chilies
- 10 Curry Leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red Chili Powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Amchur Powder (Dry Mango Powder)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Coriander Leaves
Instructions
Begin by washing the arbi (taro root) thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Peel the skin with a vegetable peeler and slice the arbi into thin, even slices.
In a large pan, heat the ghee over medium heat. Once hot, add the cumin seeds and mustard seeds. Allow them to sizzle and pop for a few seconds.
Add the green chilies and curry leaves to the pan, stirring for about 1 minute until fragrant and the chilies begin to soften.
Add the sliced arbi to the pan, stirring to coat them well with the ghee and spices.
Sprinkle the turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt over the arbi slices. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the spices.
Cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let the sabzi cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. If the mixture seems too dry, splash a little water to help cook the arbi through.
Once the arbi is tender and cooked, sprinkle the amchur powder over the sabzi and stir to combine.
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving.
Serve hot with a side of yogurt or as part of a low-carb meal.
