Notes
- While peeling the taro (arbi), it is better to use gloves or you may apply some oil to your fingers to prevent hands from itching.
- Ajwain (carom seeds) add taste to the arbi and also help indigestion.
- Don’t over boil the taro (arbi), otherwise, it may become gooey or mushy while stir-frying. Though cooking time can be varying depending on arbi size.
- For the best results, you can pre-boil the arbi and refrigerate the arbi for 3-4 hours then stir fry.
- If you are making it for fast or vrat, use rock salt instead of normal salt and ghee instead of oil.
