Sukhi Arbi is a palate tickling starter or a main course that you can serve any day, any time. As Arbi is very salubrious, I love making this dish as often as I can. So, here's how to make this amazing Arbi at home!
Indian food has so many possibilities because there is no dearth of kind of veggies and spices that can be paired. And, I say this especially after using Arbi. Arbi or colocasia is a vegetable similar to potato but with more starch content.
Most importantly, it can be made in various ways. Today, I am sharing a recipe of my mom, were she dips the arbi in a yogurt batter and shallow fry it till crispy and crunchy from outside. It's a very easy recipe and has always been a family favorite.
Chatpati Sukhi Arbi tastes better because it is tossed well with yogurt and spices. Therefore, I would say that do not take shortcuts for that process. Let the chunks of Arbi soak the yogurt and spices well before sauteeing them.
You can serve this Sukhi Arbi as a starter or even as a main course dish, it's that versatile. It goes very well with Masala Chana Dal and phulke and even with Moong Dal and rice.
