Arbi ka Saag
Colocassia, a vegetable that many are wary of because they are not sure how to get rid of its gooeyness, transforms into a spicy delicacy here! Prepared in true Rajasthani style, Arbi ka Saag can be served as a starter or as a subzi with the main course. Either way, its chatpata flavour and crispy texture will steal your heart. While some might prefer to directly sauté the cooked arbi, it turns out best when deep-fried first, so go for this fool-proof method.

Recipe Notes

Grease your hands generously with oil before you start to peel or cut the colocasia, or you will end up with sticky, dirty fingers!
