Arbi (Taro root vegetable) roast


Arbi vegetable has many healing and medicinal properties.  It has a good amount of fibre that helps the digestive process. It gives 19% of the daily required Vitamin E that is required to prevent the risks of a heart attack. Taro is one of the best sources of Vitamin C, which acts as an antioxidant to remove toxins from your body and it also boosts the immunity.

The following recipe  is a nice North Indian preparation which goes well with steamed rice or chapatis.

Ingredients

10 pieces of arbi
2 tbsps mustard oil, can use any other oil, I like it best with mustard oil
¼ tsp mustard seeds
¾ tsp ajwain seeds
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/3 tsp red chilli powder
1 ½ tsps coriander powder
½ tsp garam masala powder
Salt to taste

Instruction

- Wash and clean the arbi pieces, pressure cook them for 4 to 6 minutes depending on the size and quality. Cool and remove the skin. Take them one by one, keep it between your palms and press nicely to flatten it.
- Heat oil in a thick bottomed pan, add mustard seeds. When they splutter, ad ajwain seeds. Now remove the pan from fire, add all the masala powders, salt, and keep on reduced flame. Stir and add the arbi flattened pieces and gently toss around so that the masala is nicely coating the pieces.

Keep turning the pieces so that they are nicely roasted, remove from fire.
