Dahi Wali Arbi (Colocasia in Yogurt Gravy)

dahi wali arbi

In this recipe of dahi arbi, I have added dahi later because if you are not used to cooking with yogurt and you add it in the beginning, you may end up getting lumps. I cook dahi wali arbi separately as well as combine it with potatoes to make dahi aloo arbi.
