In this article, I’ll share how to prepare arbi curry with tamarind gravy.
Arbi or Arvi or colocasia is one of the oldest cultivated plants and the root is highly rich in starch content besides containing calcium and iron. It has many healing properties that are useful to get rid of many diseases.
Achari Arbi can be made dry or with gravy. This recipe is for making a version with gravy. Achari Arbi goes very well with almost all Indian breads like Roti, Paratha etc. and also tastes great with poori. Even Arbi Fry for rice tastes good. And Arbi Chips for tea time snack.
