About Farali Arbi
Farali Arbi Fry (Vrat Wali Sookhi Arbi) is an easy and quick stir fry made using arbi (taro roots, colocasia) and a few simple spices. As the word farali suggests, it is popularly prepared for vrat (Hindu fasting days) as falahar. You can also make it for your everyday Indian-style meals and serve it with dal and roti. Ghee – I like to make this stir-fry in ghee for a rich flavor. You can use oil to make it vegan. Others – You will also need green chilies, ajwain (carom seeds), salt, amchoor (dry mango powder), and cilantro (fresh coriander leaves). Adjust the green chilies depending on your taste. Pressure cook for two whistles on high heat. Immediately release the pressure and run the arbi under cold water. Do not overcook the arbi otherwise, they will become mushy. Note – To cook the arbi in an instant pot, add them to the inner pot of an instant pot along with 1 cup of water and 1 teaspoon salt. Close the lid and press PRESSURE COOK. Set the timer to 4 minutes at high pressure. Once the timer goes off, do a 10-minute NPR followed by QPR. Open the lid and run the arbi under cold water. Remove the peel of the arbi and cut them into ¼-inch pieces. Once the ghee is hot, add 1 teaspoon chopped green chilies and 1 teaspoon ajwain and let them crackle for 4-5 seconds. Reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan with a lid and cook until the arbi are slightly browned (15-20 minutes). Stir a few times while cooking. Check for salt and add more if needed. Garnish with 2 tablespoon chopped cilantro and serve hot.
