Sukhi Arbi Fry Recipe

¼ teaspoon Ajwain (Carom seeds)

(sendha namak) (to taste)

Red chili powder

Cumin powder

Amchur powder (Dried mango powder)

Boil arbi.

Boil the arbi first. Choose any one method. The time given is approx., it may vary depending on the size of the taro root. - Pressure cooker: 1 whistle - Microwave: 4-5 minutes on high power - Boiling water in a saucepan: 10-15 minutes.

Peel and slice.

Once cool to touch, peel and discard the skin. Cut into round slices, or cut into cubes or lengthwise like wedges.

Heat the oil and fry ajwain.

Heat the oil in a pan on medium heat. Once hot add ajwain and let them sizzle a bit.

Fry arbi until crisp.

Then add sliced arbi and fry in the oil for a few minutes or until it becomes slightly crisp. Because taro roots are slimy in nature, it is a good idea to cook until crisp to get rid of the slimy texture.

Add spices and mix.

Now add salt and spices (red chili powder, cumin powder and amchur powder). Mix well and cook for 1-2 minutes on low heat. Make sure to lower the heat so spices don’t get burnt.

These Taro Fries (Crispy Arbi) are so easy to make, crispy and delicious. They are a great variation in taste and nutrition to potato french fries. Make them in the air fryer, oven or stovetop.

Excellent recipe! Turned out great! I loved it!

Yay- I made a small batch as my 1st try. I wasn’t sure about the thickness until I read these comments but I’d already completed my fries. They still came out pretty great. I have a different air fryer and would only get me 390 degrees at 15. Although I should’ve aimed for 13 minutes- still came out great! Thanks for the recipe!

Hey Meeta,

Thanks for your recipe.

Could you tell me what is the brand of the air fryer you used when cooking? You say that the taro fries at 10 minutes, I guess your air fryer cook fast.

1 year ago I shifted the diet of me and my family in a healthier way. The air fryer helped me to achieve that. I used less oil, but still made delicious food. I never tried Taro Root Fries but I can't wait to try, It looks delicious.
