Crispy and flavorful fry using arbi or taro root and spices. An authentic Rajasthani dish for rice.
What is Arbi Ka Saag?
Arbi Ka Saag is a Rajasthani style taro root or colocasia dish. It is a simple and crispy fry made with boiled arbi and spices. There are other variations of arbi fry which I usually make. But this dish is a different one with authentic flavors and one of the easy arbi recipes. The texture of the dish is crispy outside and soft inside. I have adapted the traditional recipe from Rajasthani Cookbook.
If you don’t want to deep fry the vegetable, you can shallow fry them until they are a golden brown color and crispy. Also, do not skip the spices as they give the authentic taste and flavor.
Is Arbi Saag Vegan?
Yes, it is a vegan recipe.
What goes well with Arbi Fry?
It can be served as a starter or side dish with hot steamed rice.
