  • oil to fry

  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds (Rai)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Peel and wash the arbi. Let it dry or pat dry using a cloth. Then julienne cut the arbi (thin slices like potato fries).
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Now we will saute the arbi with spices. Heat oil in a separate sauce pan. Add kadi patta, rai, chopped green chilli to it.
  5. When they start to splutter, add the spices and salt.
  6. Add the fried arbi and mix it well with the spices.
  7. The arbi is ready. Garnish with cilantro and serve hot.
