Ingredients

• 500 grams Arbi (colocasia root)
• 3 tablespoons Mustard oil
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 pinch Asafoetida (hing)
• 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 Green chilies
• 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves

Directions

Step 1

Begin by washing the arbi thoroughly to remove any dirt. Next, peel the skin using a peeler and then rinse again. Slice the arbi into 1/2-inch discs and set aside.

Step 2

Heat the mustard oil in a pan over medium heat until it begins to smoke slightly. Reduce the heat to medium-low to allow the oil to cool a bit, then add cumin seeds and a pinch of asafoetida. Let them splutter for a few seconds.

Step 3

Add the sliced arbi to the pan. Stir well to coat the arbi in the oil.

Step 4

Sprinkle turmeric powder, red chili powder, and coriander powder over the arbi. Stir gently to ensure the spices are evenly mixed.

Step 5

Cover the pan with a lid and cook the arbi on medium heat for about 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking or burning. The arbi should become tender but hold its shape.

Step 6

Once the arbi is cooked, add salt according to taste, and gently mix.

Step 7

Slice the green chilies lengthwise and add to the pan. Also, add garam masala and mix everything well.

Step 8

Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes without the lid to allow any excess moisture to evaporate, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

Turn off the heat and garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves.

Step 10

Serve the delicious Arbi Sabzi hot with rotis or steamed rice.
