Ingredients:
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tbsp chili powder (adjust according to your spice preference)
- A handful of fresh curry leaves
- 5 garlic pods, crushed
- 250 grams boiled arbi (taro root), peeled and diced into bite-sized pieces
- Salt to taste
- 2 tsp lime juice
- 1/2 tsp garam masala
- Fresh Coriander for garnish
Instructions:
- First things first, gather all your ingredients, and put on your chef’s hat – it’s time to create some magic in the kitchen!
- Take a sturdy kadai or a deep pan and let’s start cooking. Place it over medium heat and add the tablespoon of butter. As the butter melts and sizzles slightly, the kitchen will fill with the mouthwatering aroma.
- Now, throw in the finely chopped onions and sauté them until they turn a gorgeous golden brown. This caramelization process will bring out their natural sweetness, enhancing the flavor of our Arbi Dry Curry.
- Next, sprinkle in the cumin and turmeric powder. These spices are like a secret blend of enchanting flavors that will transport your taste buds to a whole new level of satisfaction.
- Want some kick in your curry? Add the chili powder according to your heat preference. I like it spicy, so I usually go all in, but adjust it to your taste.
- Ah, the magical fragrance of curry leaves! Tear a handful of fresh curry leaves and toss them into the kadai along with the crushed garlic pods. This aromatic duo will infuse the arbi with a delightful essence.
- Now, it’s time to introduce the star of our dish – the boiled arbi. Gently add the diced taro root into the kadai, and don’t forget to sprinkle a generous pinch of salt. The salt will accentuate the flavors and help the arbi absorb all the aromatic spices.
- Mix everything thoroughly to coat the arbi evenly with the luscious spice blend. Cover the kadai and let it cook for about 10-12 minutes on low heat. Remember to stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Once the arbi turns tender and lovingly soaks up all the flavors, it’s time to add a tangy twist. Squeeze in the fresh lime juice and give it a final mix.
- Ah, the last touch of magic! Sprinkle the garam masala over the arbi and gently fold it in. This final dash of spice will take the flavor to a whole new level, leaving you craving for more.
- The Arbi Dry Curry is now ready to be served! Garnish it with fresh coriander leaves, which will add a burst of color and freshness to the dish. Serve it hot with roti, rice, or your favorite bread.

And there you have it – a delectable Arbi Dry Curry that’s bursting with flavor and holds a special place in my heart. This dish not only tantalizes your taste buds but also brings along a host of health benefits, making it an ideal choice for any meal.
