Well I hope you all enjoyed my previous recipes of Colocasia/Taro roots/Arbi one in gravy form and the other prepared with sliced onions and tomatoes. I am back with one more recipe of my favorite vegetable :)In this recipe ,first I have boiled the Colocasia and then deep fry it in oil followed by coating it in lots of spices. Believe me it tastes incredible .
I like it very much and it’s favorite of everyone at my place. So I keep on expermenting with Colocasia to find new ways of cookig.Colocasia is a good source of Fibers , Antioidants and Vitamin B-Complex .This is the best and easiest method of cooking it , that gives this simple vegetable an exotic taste.Crunchy crust of this cuisine followed by soft texture of Colocasia along with spices really gives an entirely different experience .So let’s start the recipe.yum
