Arbi Deep Fry

Arbi Deep fry is a delicious side dish made with besan and basic spice powders. Deep frying makes this very delicious and a wonderful dish to feast on.

Colocasia or Chamagadda as it is called in Telugu is a root vegetable that is boiled, peeled and fried in different ways. This vegetable is at times itchy and sticky too. So some cook this in tamarind extract to overcome the itchiness. However, if you are fine with it, all it requires is pressure cooking for one whistle and chopping it into smaller pieces before frying it.

We can shallow fry or pan fry this, however, deep frying makes it even better. So naturally, it means you can make this ahead. This fry is so good that you can even serve this as a starter at a party. I originally posted this along with Carrot Beans Sambar

Arbi Fry has always been my favorite side dish along with Sambar. As I remember there was a time during my growing up years when I would eat sambar only if it was paired with this fry or Plantain Fry. Thinking back on those days, while I write this, years really show on you. I hardly remember how those days were and looking at our kids, we wonder even more.

This is the final one for the third week of BM#95, where I have been doing Deep Fried Love. I posted a Crispy Onion Fries and some Cabbage Pakora for this theme.
