Colocasia Roast (Seppankizhangu/Arbi/Arvi)


If you are a big fan of fried items, then this one would be on top of your list too. :) Crispy, crunchy, munchy and roast arbi is here for you... :)

Ingredients:

Colocasia - 1/4 kg
Oil - to fry
Salt - for taste
Chilly powder - for taste

Method:

Cook colocasia in a pressure pan. Now peel the skin and slice it into circles. Now fry them in oil till it turns into yummy brown. Finally add salt and chilly powder to it and mix well. :) Colocasia roast is done. :)

This goes super good with curd rice. :)




The raw vegetable/Root looks like this: This is also called as Taro Root.
