Allergy Advice
This recipe contains Peanuts. People with such allergies should avoid adding such ingredients or try to replace them with better choices.
Ingredients
2
250 grams Taro roots
2 cups Water
1 tablespoon Ghee
1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
2 pieces Green Chilies
half teaspoon Turmeric powder
1 tablespoon Lemon juice
1 tablespoon Roasted peanut powder
half teaspoon Sugar
Salt as per taste
Tips
Use oil on your hands while peeling the taro root to avoid its natural stickiness.
Dry roast peanuts before grinding them into powder for a more aromatic flavor.
Arbi Sabji can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Directions
Wash the 250g of taro roots thoroughly. Add them to a pressure cooker with 2 cups of water. Cook on medium flame until you hear 1 whistle. Let the pressure release naturally.
Once cooled, open the cooker. To avoid the stickiness, apply a little oil to your hands. Peel the taro roots and dice them into large chunks.
Heat 1 tbsp of ghee in a pan. Add 1 tsp of cumin seeds and allow them to crackle. Once they crackle, add the 2 chopped green chilies and sauté for a minute.
Add the diced taro roots into the pan. Sprinkle 0.5 tsp of turmeric powder and salt as per taste. Mix everything well.
Stir in 0.5 tsp of sugar and 1 tbsp of lemon juice. Toss gently to coat all the pieces.
Top the sabji with 1 tbsp of roasted peanut powder for an extra crunch and flavor. Serve hot with kuttu roti or rajgira roti.
Notes
Those with Kidney Issues: Due to its high oxalate content, people with kidney stones or issues should limit their consumption.
Diabetics: Although high in fiber, arbi has a relatively high glycemic index, so diabetics should consume it in moderation.
