Arbi masala

Arbi(Taro root) is called Kochu in Bengali. This is something I tried by myself and turned out pretty well to be accompanied by fulkas. 

Ingredients:

• Arbi                                - 12 pieces
• Onion                              - 1 large, chopped
• Tomato                           - 1 medium, chopped
• Green chilli                     - 4/5, chopped
• Turmeric powder             - ½ tsp
• Red Chilli powder            - 1 tsp
• Amchur powder               - ½ tsp
• Coriander leaves             - 1 Tbsp, chopped
• Corn flour                       - 1 tsp
• Oil                                  - 2 Tbsp
• Salt                                 - to taste

Method:

1. Wash the Arbis properly. Boil them till tender. (I used a pressure cooker and cooked for one whistle)

2. Peel the Arbis. Cut them into quarters.

3. Sprinkle salt, turmeric powder and red chilli powder and mix well. Dust with corn flour.

4. Heat 1 Tbsp oil in a pan. Add the Arbis and fry them till brown. Cook gently as they might be very delicate.

5. When fried, remove the Arbis from pan and keep aside.
6. Heat 1 Tbsp in a pan.
7. Add chopped onion and green chilli and cook till onions turn translucent.

8. Add chopped tomatoes and cook till tomatoes are cooked and turns mushy.

9. Add the fried Arbis. Add amchur powder and salt and mix well. Cook for another 5-6 minutes on medium flame till everything mixes well. 

10. Add chopped coriander leaves. 
11. Serve hot with fulka.
