Arbi Ka Saag Recipe – Rajasthani Style Taro Root Fry

Crispy and flavorful fry using arbi or taro root and spices. An authentic Rajasthani dish for rice.

What is Arbi Ka Saag?

Arbi Ka Saag is a Rajasthani style taro root or colocasia dish. It is a simple and crispy fry made with boiled arbi and spices. There are other variations of arbi fry which I usually make. But this dish is a different one with authentic flavors and one of the easy arbi recipes.  The texture of the dish is crispy outside and soft inside. I have adapted the traditional recipe from Rajasthani Cookbook.

If you don’t want to deep fry the vegetable, you can shallow fry them until they are a golden brown color and crispy. Also, do not skip the spices as they give the authentic taste and flavor.

Is Arbi Saag Vegan?

Yes, it is a vegan recipe.

What goes well with Arbi Fry?

It can be served as a starter or side dish with hot steamed rice.
