Perfectly roasted arbi with curry leaves and spices.
Seppankizhangu is also known as colocasia/arbi/taro root/chembu-kizhangu. I usually make it as roast, sometimes add it in yogurt curry (mor kuzhambu) and once have fried it. Everything tasted great but did not want to fry it anymore 😉 made me guilty. So, I wanted to my classic seppankizhangu roast, it taste great with any rice, rasam, sambar and 😀 I made it for one lunch for meals before two months and it tasted really good! It has some essential minerals like iron,copper, potassium, zinc. When u buy them, always buy fresh,medium sized firm ones.
I have other vegetarian side dish stir fry recipe: raw banana roast, carrot stir fry, beans masala stir fry, potato roast, cauliflower fry, bittergaurd fry, beettroot fry, eggplant fry

This looks amazing! I love adding curry powder and tumeric to everything recently! Espeically cous cous. Just takes the flavours to another level. These look like they’d be similar, spices and yum!
Will have to try 😀 Seems relatively simple recipe!
