Dahi Ki arbi -Tangy colocasia /taro root curry cooked with curd and Indian spices
Dahi Ki arbi-During summers we wish to eat something light and cool.,so I often make curries in which curd can be added.Taro root /arbi /colacasia is such a vegetable which can be cooked in a delicious curd gravy.
Arbi is very rich in fiber so excellent for the digestive system. Arbi is fiber rich hence good for the digestive system. It is also very vitamin C and E which are rich in anti oxidants.Taro root have zero cholesterol so good for everyone.
This dahi ki arbi is a light and flavourful curry and so easy to make .Addition of cloves ,ajwain,asafoetida and yogurt make it delicious and easy to digest.
How To Make Dahi ki Arbi
First you have wash and then boil and peel the arbi. Then slice it into medium thick roundels. Then you can either fry/ stir fry the sliced pieces or just add the boiled pieces without frying. Whisk the yogurt properly else it may curdle while boiling. Addition of 1 tsp refined flour is to avoid curdling of yogurt.Do stir it continuously till the curry start boiling.
Adjust the quantity of water according to the thickness you want in your curry . Some prefer it quite thick and some want to have thinner curry so adjust accordingly. This dahi ki arbi goes well with any Indian bread i.e- roti ,poori paratha or rice

What does “wali” mean in English? I’ve tried translation apps but I can’t find the answer. Thank you.
P.S. The exact term I’m looking for is “moti wali”.
anjanaskc says
Hi Elmer -Dahi wali in Hindi means that the gravy is made with Yogurt. Moti wali means thick ones
Mayank Chaturvedi says
Anjana ji, I made this curry today following your recipe. I used Eddo roots and not Taro. Eddo roots are closer to Indian Arbi.
anjanaskc says
Thank You Mayank ji ,Hope you liked it
anjanaskc says
@tiya-you may have added less quantity of curd or thin curd.
Tiya says
I tried making this recipe today but it is not creamy or thick as I thought it would turn out. Is it suppose to be that way or have I made a mistake? It tastes okay though, just not sure about the texture.
