Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Arbi (colocasia/taro root)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil or cooking spray
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon Asafoetida (hing)
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves
Instructions
Wash the arbi thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Boil them in a pot with enough water to cover the arbi for about 8-10 minutes until they are just cooked through but not mushy. Drain the water and let them cool slightly.
Peel the boiled arbi and cut them into slices or cubes as per your preference.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan or use a cooking spray to coat the pan lightly. Add cumin seeds and allow them to splutter.
Add asafoetida to the pan and stir for a few seconds.
Add the sliced arbi to the pan and gently sauté for 2-3 minutes over medium heat.
Sprinkle turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt over the arbi. Mix well, ensuring that the masalas coat the arbi uniformly.
Cook on low heat for another 8-10 minutes, occasionally stirring, until the arbi turns golden brown and crispy.
Garnish with chopped fresh coriander leaves before serving.
Serve hot with roti or rice for a wholesome low-fat meal.
