Sukhi Arbi Recipe

Sukhi arbi / Dry arbi or Indian Colocasia Recipe is one of the best option for eating during fasting days. It’s a dry Indian Vegetable Recipe, cooked in mild spices. We are very fond of sukhi arbi and I generally accompany my sukhi arbi with dal and rice, but sometimes it is relished with chapati as well. Stir-Fry Arbi (Taro Root) is mildly spiced up with a light and crunchy taste of spices and makes a great side dish or also can be served as an appetizer.

Arbi masala is just a simply mixture of flavorful Indian herbs and few spices. Today I’m boiling my arbi, but sometimes I warm it in microwave just to make it tender. Before cooking arbi in spices and masalas, it is very important to make it either warmed, or boiled. Let’s see how to make this simple but very tasty arbi recipe step by step.

When the arbi little cools down, lightly press the fried pieces between the palms of your hands. Now heat 1 tsp of oil in a pan, put the fried arbi and keep the flame to the lowest. Add salt to taste, cover and leave to cook only for 2 minutes, so that urbi turns soft.
