Arbi Recipe for Vrat | Arbi Fry

Arbi or Colocasia is a slightly tricky vegetable to cook. If you don't cook it well enough, it leaves a pins and needles sensation in your mouth which is not nice at all. The best way to cook this vegetable is to boil it first so that it is well cooked and then temper it with spices or make it into a curry. The recipe that I have shared is among the easiest arbi recipes.

So this Arbi ki sabzi recipe is super simple to make.  It is perfect with rotis and is also a great arbi recipe for vrat during festivals like Janmashtami, Dasshera, Navratri and so on.
