Besan Arbi Roast Recipe – Spicy Colocasia Stir Fry

  • To begin making the Besan Arbi Roast Recipe, scrub the arbi to get rid of mud and dirt. Pressure cook the arbi with little water and a pinch of salt for 1 whistle (do not over cook). After the first whistle, turn off the heat. Once the pressure releases, open the cooker. 

  • Peel the skin off and cut them into half lengthwise and place it in a large mixing bowl.

  • In a wide plate mix besan, red chili powder, coriander powder, salt, turmeric powder, amchur powder, roasted cumin powder.

  • Add this spice powder like the turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chilli powder, amchur powder and cumin powder to the cut arbi and toss to coat well. 

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a heavy bottomed pan, add the besan arbi in small batches and roast until golden brown in color on all sides. Do this in 2 to 3 batches, add oil as the pan gets dry. Drain the roasted arbi on kitchen towel and place it in a serving platter.

  • In another pan add 1 teaspoon of oil. Add cumin seeds, carom seeds and finely chopped green chilies and saute for 10 seconds. Add this to the Besan Arbi and toss gently.  

  • Sprinkle some coriander leaves and lemon juice on top of the besan arbi and serve.
