   Ingredients needed

   Arbi/ Colocasia/seppankizhangu – 600 grams
   Turmeric powder -1/4 tsp
   Chilli powder -1 tsp
   Coriander powder -2 tsp
   Cumin/jeera powder -1 tsp
   Oil – 6 tbsp
   Salt to taste

  For the seasoning

   Oil -1 tsp
   Mustard seeds -1 tsp

Method

Cook arbi till soft. This is the most important step. The arbi should be cooked in such a way that it should be soft but not mushy.(I pressure cooked for 2 whistles as cooking in an open pan takes a long time. Once the pressure is released, I immediately transferred them to cold water to prevent them from getting cooked further)

Peel the skin of arbi, cut it into halves, add oil, sprinkle salt, chilli powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder and mix everything well. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes.

Now heat a tsp of oil in a pan, add mustard seeds, when it splutter, add the marinated arbi and roast on low flames.

Cover it with a lid and roast evenly on all sides. Stir it in between to prevent it from getting burnt.

Roasted seppankizhangu is ready to be served. Sounds easy isn’t it? No doubt, it will taste great!!
