Arbi Ki Sookhi Sabzi- Shallow fried mildly spiced colocasia /Taro root

Arbi ki sookhi sabzi – colocasia/taro root is a tuber vegetable and is usually available during summer season.There are different ways to make this vegetable-steaming, frying,shallow frying,boiled .Every family have their own favorite way of making arbi curry.

Its slightly slimy in nature so many people avoid making it but if done properly it turn out very delicious.First you have to be careful while boiling taro root as it should be boiled till just done, over cooked arbi will turn very slimy.

While cooking you have to add some kind of souring agent to balance the sliminess and blend taste. yogurt, mango powder, tamarind juice or lemon juice can be added but yogurt goes very well with arbi / taro root curry. so I always prefer to add some yogurt in arbi ki sabzi.

Arbi is very good in fiber so excellent for the digestive system, very high in vitamin C and E ,both of which are anti-oxidants. Taro roots have zero cholesterol so a good vegetable for every one.

As Arbi is heavy and produce gas and may cause bloating in the stomach so addition of asafoetida,cloves,ginger, ajwain and curd makes it delicious and easy to digest.

I have also posted few more Arbi recipes –

Notes

NOTE-
  1. You can also make this arbi for fasting, just substitute chili powder with pepper powder.
  2. Don't over boil arbi ,it should be just done,otherwise it may become mushy while stir frying.
  3. If possible then boil arbi, peel and keep refrigerated for few hours then stir fry,this reduces its sliminess.
  4. Dont skip ajwain ,hing and ginger as Arbi is heavy to digest and produce gas and ajwain ,hing and ginger help to digest it easily.
