Taro Root Fry/ Arbi Fry



Arbi fry is one of my favorites. I generally shallow fry them/ sautee. But every time I felt something was missing. So this particular time I decided to deep fry them and bingo! It turned out to be very very delicious.
The recipe is adapted from “vahrehvah.com”.

Ingredients

Taro Roots/ Arbi – 3 cups, boiled and cut in to round pieces
Curry Leaves – 12 to 15 leaves
Green Chilies – 6 to 7, slit vertically
Red Chili Powder – 1 tsp.
Oil – enough for deep frying
Salt – to taste

Serves 3 - 4

Method

1. Heat enough oil for deep frying in a sauce pan.
2. Put in the taro root/ arbi pieces in to the oil (in batches) and fry until they become golden brown in color.
3. After all the pieces are done, deep fry the curry leaves and green chilies.
4. Place the fried taro roots in a big container. Sprinkle salt and red chili powder on them and also put in the fried curry leaves and green chilies.
5. Toss the pieces for a few seconds (until all the ingredients mix well) and serve hot with Sambar/ Rasam and rice.

  3. Hi Neha, Deep frying Arvi makes them delicious indeed. Try to bake them without oil in oven. It turns very crispy and stay healthy :)
