Punjabi Arbi Masala Recipe

Punjabi Arbi Masala is a simple and delicious gluten-free Indian food recipe, a popular side dish. A staple in Punjabi household arbi masala is the tasty, crisp colocasia roots dry preparation. Serve it with chapati and dal fry for a wholesome meal!

Punjabi Arbi Masala

The Punjabi Arbi Masala Recipe has been long due. It is a hot favorite at home and quite a regular lunch affair along with dal fry, raita, basmati rice, and chapati.

The humble and subtle flavors in the dish are competitively enticing.

But whether to share the recipe or not was a long-lasting debate. The reason being, recipes like Punjabi Arbi Masala are not so easily spotted on the menu of any Dhaba or Indian restaurant.

Neither they are much talked about in the cookbooks or cookery shows.

These are some of those Indian food recipes that never make it to the commercial spotlight. In the conventional home kitchens, they are quietly passed on from one generation of house ladies to another.

These lost Indian recipes are the family treasures, which might not have a presidential connection but worth preserving for the forthcoming generations.

Punjabi Arbi Masala Recipe

The little fuzzy not so good looking tubers, also known as colocasia roots are given a tempting makeover.

From chopping the Arbi into equal size matchsticks to frying them till perfection, the technique behind making Arbi Masala is quite straightforward.

The juliennes of Arbi are dressed in turmeric and red chili powder then stir-fried in hot oil at the right temperature.

While shallow frying the arbi just make sure, the Arbi strips do not turn overly crisp. We need just a little chomp in the Arbi and not a wafer-like crunch.

The way to achieve this is not to wash the colocasia roots once they are chopped. After peeling the skin from Arbi, run them under running water, pat dry, and then only chop. 

I genuinely love arbi (taro roots) and a sattvic style arbi curry is my other vegetarian favorite.
