Ingredients
- 10 taro root medium sized, aka arbi
- neutral cooking oil to fry, generic cooking oil
- 1/2 tablespoon neutral cooking oil to saute, generic cooking oil
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds aka rai
- 8 leaves curry leaves aka Kadi Patta

Spices
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder ground, aka Haldi powder
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder Mirchi powder

Instructions
- Peel and wash the arbi. Let it dry or pat dry using a cloth. Then julienne cut the arbi (thin slices like potato fries).
- Heat oil in a large pan. Use a large pan so you can fry all the arbi at once. Once the oil is heated, add the julienne cut arbi to the oil.
- It will take about 10-15 minutes for the arbi to cook and get a light brown color. At that point, remove the arbi from the oil.
- Now we will saute the arbi with spices. Heat oil in a separate sauce pan. Add kadi patta, rai, chopped green chilli to it.
- When they start to splutter, add the spices and salt.
- Add the fried arbi and mix it well with the spices.
- The arbi is ready. Garnish with cilantro and serve hot.
