Seppankizhangu Roast (Taro root/Arbi roast)

Seppankizhangu roast is not made often at my home considering the fact that it is a deep fried dish. But when it is a special occasion or special lunch then this recipe always finds a place in the menu and is a top favorite among all of us at home. Here goes the recipe...



INGREDIENTS:
  • Seppankizhangu/arbi/taro root - 1/4 kg
  • Rice flour - 1/2 cup
  • Chilli powder - 2 Tsp
  • Asafoetida - a generous pinch
  • Salt - as required
  • Oil - for deep frying


METHOD:
  1. Wash and clean the seppankizhangu. Pressure cook it with little water for 1 whistle
  2. Once the pressure cools down, carefully peel off the skin and cut into small round pieces. Keep aside
  3. Mix together all the remaining ingredients - rice flour, chilli powder, asafoetida and salt with water, to form a thick batter (thicker than bajji batter)
  4. Now add in the cut seppankizhangu pieces to the batter and mix well so that the pieces are coated well with the mixture
  5. Heat oil in a broad pan
  6. Once the oil is hot, fry the marinated seppankizhangu pieces by dropping each pieces separately in the oil, so that they don't stick together
  7. That's it. Crispy seppankizhangu roast is ready! it tastes best when served hot and crispy. It can be stored in air-tight container for a day or two but the crispness would not be retained
