INGREDIENTS:
Arbi / Colocasia / Chamagadda   ½ kg

PROCEDURE:
  •  Wash arbi. Pressure cook the following together – arbi, tamarind, turmeric, crystal salt and water – keep it for 3 whistles.
  •  With hands peel off the outer layer and cut into pieces as shown in the picture (take care not to cut them too thick or too thin).
