Arbi Roast (Maami's Corner)

Arbi or colocassia or chembu is a very tasteless tuber, which is generally boiled & served with some spicy chutney. I’ve tried to combine the 2 to get this lovely roast.

With very little oil & lots of patience, you can do this in a non stick pan.

INGREDIENTS:

Arbi: 250 g

Red chilli powder: 2 tsps

Turmeric powder: 1/4tsp

Pepper powder: 1/2tsp

Garlic: 1tsp ground fine

Lime juice: 2 tsps

Oil: 2 tsps

Salt to taste

METHOD:

Choose small arbi, wash & boil them with skin.

When done, peel & crush between your palms slightly, to enable the masala to soak in.

Mix all spices with lime juice & salt. Apply all over the arbi. Keep for a while.

In a non stick pan, heat oil, place the masala coated arbis, cook on slow flame till well browned. Serve with rice.
