Tara Root is one of my favorite vegetable but I don’t know why I haven’t  posted any recipe here. These tara root has a awesome taste packed it and it is gets its best taste when it is fried in oil and tossed with some spices..

Amma adds this to pulikulambu too and it taste awesome along with some rice..I will post that recipe soon. I made this couple of weeks before along with murungai keerai thoran and brinjal pulikulambu. And it was the best meal I have ever tasted. 

So here you go to the recipe..

Ingredients:

Seppankilangu / Colocasia / Arbi / Tara Root – 10 nos
Onion – 1 large sliced thinly
Tomato – 2 chopped finely
Fennel Seeds / Sombu / Saunf – 1 tsp
Mustard Seeds / Kaduku- 1tsp
Chilli Powder – 1 tsp
Coriander Powder / Malli Podi -1 tblspn
Garam masala powder-1 tsp
Turmeric Powder / Manjal podi -1 tsp
Salt to taste
Oil- 1 tblspn+ Deep frying
Curry leaves – 1 spring
Coriander Leaves  / Cilantro – for garnishing


Method:

Wash colocasia well so that there is no dirt still there. Take it in a sauce pan and cover it with water. Bring this to boil and simmer it for 15-20 mins untill cooked through. If you insert a knife in it, it should go in easily without any restrictions.Don’t over cook or it will turn mushy.  Drain it and allow to cool. Then cut into rounds and set aside.

Heat oil for deep frying and add the cut up pieces and fry till light golden. Remove and drain in  a kitchen paper.

Heat oil in a pan and add mustard and fennel seeds. Add onions and curry leaves in it. Season with some salt and mix well.Cook untill it is light golden.

Add in tomatoes and mix well. Cook for 5 mins till it gets mushy.

Add chilli, coriander, turmeric and garam masala powders  in and mix well.

Add the fried colocasia and mix well. Garnish with cilantro and mix well.

Serve hot with rice.

    I love root veggies and colocasia is one of my absolute favorites too. We usually do a simple stir fry with chili flakes, shallots, mustard and curry leaves. Now I need to try this yummy version!

    Aarthi , must tell you.. this is delicious… I make Sepankayangu in a very traditional way or just bake them for roasting instead…
    Making a masala with this is very new…
