Crispy Arbi Fry is a delicious delicacy made of Arbi, also known as Taro root. This is a must-try recipe made of arbi that is spicy and crispy and is a perfect dish to serve as a snack or side dish. Enjoy it as a snack, or serve it as an appetizer or side dish with your meal. In this recipe, I have shallow fried the arbi; however, you can air fry or bake them in the oven at 180 C. Arbi, also known as taro root in English, brings excellent taste and many health benefits to your platter. It is a root vegetable generally prepared as a side dish or a curry. You can not eat it raw; you must boil it before preparing the dish. It is used to make various delicious recipes, savoury and sweet. This root vegetable is rich in fibre, vitamins C and E, antioxidants, potassium, magnesium and resistant starch. It has multiple health benefits; it helps to keep the blood sugar levels in control. It keeps you full for a longer time due to its rich fibre content.

Instructions
- Wash and clean the arbi. Boil the arbi in boiling water until done ( if you insert a knife into the arbi, it should easily slide into the piece). You can also pressure cook the arbi for 2 whistles.
- Once it’s cool down and easy to handle, peel the Arbi and set it aside.
- Take a plastic sheet and place an arbi piece in the centre. Overlap the sheet on the arbi and gently press your palm to flatten it. Repeat the same procedure with the remaining pieces.
- Add coriander powder, red chilli powder, amchur powder, turmeric powder, garam masala powder, cumin powder, and salt in a big mixing bowl. Marinate the arbi with all the spices. Coat the spices nicely over the arbi.
- Take wheat flour or aata in a bowl and coat the arbi nicely with flour.
- Add 3 tablespoons of Corn flour and 3 tablespoons of water in a bowl. Mix it well and make a lump-free slurry. Set it aside.
- Take bread crumbs onto a plate and keep it aside.
- Dip the flour-coated arbi into the corn flour slurry, then dip into the bread crumbs. Roll and coat the arbi evenly from all sides and transfer it to a plate. Repeat the same process with the remaining pieces.
- Heat oil on a medium flame and shallow fry the arbis on a medium-high flame. Fry the arbi evenly from both sides until crisp and golden brown in colour.
- Transfer them to a kitchen towel lined plate to absorb the excess oil.
- Arbi fry is ready to serve; sprinkle some chat masala on the arbi fries and serve it hot.
