Ohh… It is Alu Kanda … I've no idea why we call it Alu Kanda cos it looks more like Batata… /:)
While searching I found this wonderful link, where I can fill up the GAP! :D
My mom prepares a very different Alu Kanda Masala Fry.. just remembered it when I read Divya's Arbi Fry.
It is prepared within 15 minutes so a very good side dish for take away in lunch box!
You Need:
Arbi/Alu Kanda : about ¼ kg
Sesame Seeds (Til): 2tbsp
Fenugreek (Methi) Seeds: 1tbsp
Cummin Seeds: 2tbsp
Turmeric Powder: ½ tsp
Red Chilli Powder: ½ tsp
Lemon: half
Asafetida : pinch
Oil
Salt to taste
You Do:
- Roast Cumin , Sesame and fenugreek Seeds on hot tava for couple of minutes. Then Grind it to make fine powder
- Peel the Alu Kanda and slice it as you want. (It's very sticky and slips from your hand while cutting)
- Heat Oil in kadhai, put pinch of Asafetida, then sliced Alu Kanda. Sauté it for few minutes then cover for 5 mins.
- Once half cooked , mix the grinded masala, salt, turmeric and red chili powder.
- Let it cook for more 5 mins, when done put the lemon and garnish with coriander if required.
Tastes very good with hot phulkas / chapatis!

ReplyDeleteThis arbi fry seems so delicious. I welcome you to take part in the 'side dish for chapathi 'event . Cheers, Viki.
@Viki,
ReplyDeleteThank you :) and yeah me will surely send couple of dishes for your wonderful event !
Is that aarvi? Or is it navalkol? Cant figure out even from the picture... Ohh is it ratala? Sweet potato?
ReplyDelete@G,
ReplyDeleteIt is Arbi in Hindi and Alu Kanda in Marathi and in English : Colocassia!! Go Google search !
planning on trying this dish today. If it doesn't turn ut well I have you to blame. Discussion at home brought us to this conversation when pop quoted "Arvi is made very well in Indore etc .. the thoda MP style".. when i promptly offered to try out ur recipe. will let u know the outcome.
ReplyDeletealso a small correction: Fennel = badishop (marathi) / saunf (hindi) .. whereas methi = fenugreek
i'm gonna use methi .. thank god u wrote methi else would've been a disaster with saunf.
@Gauri,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by ! and major thanks for correcting my glossary !
Btw this is not Indori dish , its typical apun ka GSB Marathi Mom ka recipe !
I think you tried this recipe and it did come out GOOD !
