Dahi Wali Arbi Sabzi

1

Boil the taro root in a pot until it's fork tender all the way through to the middle. Rinse the vegetables in cold water until it's cool enough to handle. Peel the taro root and discard the skin. Cut it lengthwise down the middle. Then cut it into ¼ - ½" thick semi-circles.

2

Add ghee into a pot on medium heat. Once the ghee is hot, add the taro and pan fry until it's golden brown. Then, add the ajwain, asafoetida, salt, and turmeric. Allow the spices to temper for about a minute, then add the dahi and water.

3

Give everything a really good stir together in the pot. Simmer the gravy until it thickens up to coat the taro. Add in chopped cilantro.

Serve while warm with roti or stuffed paratha.

Enjoy!!
