(Colocassia) Arbi Ki Sabzi

arbi ki sabzi

This is a simple recipe of arbi ki sabzi. It’s healthy since arbi is boiled first instead of deep frying as in arbi fry. Deep frying vegetables is an unhealthy practice in my opinion since it destroys the various nutrients of the vegetable as well as adds to the calorie intake. You can also call it arbi masala or spicy arbi.
