Taro Root Fry (Arvi / Chema dumpa fry)

This Taro root fry tastes delicious as a side dish when served with Plain rice or Dal/Rasam/Sambhar or with Curd rice. You can even them eat as Chips!

We had them in lunch as well as dinner with plain gheed rice along with 'Kakarakaya Fry'.

Ingredients:
Taro roots
Sambhar powder
Red chilli powder
Oil
Salt

Method:

• Boil Taro roots in water and drain them when they are done.
• Peel them when they warm to touch.
• Cut them length wise.
• Marinate them for 1/2 hr. in Sambhar pow, chilli pow and salt. If needed sprinkle just a little water/oil to mix them evenly.
• Fry them on a hot oiled skillet in batches and serve when they are hot and crispy.

PS: Be careful while boiling Taro roots because they will be done in mins. Make sure they are not mushy soft.
