    Arbi Fry is a easy and flavorful side dish for rice. Arbi is called Seppankizhangu in tamil, This Arbi Fry is crispy and tastes delicious. This simple Arbi Fry can be made in a number of ways and this version I have shared here is from amma.

    Arbi or Colocasia is one vegetable consumed during religious fasting days. You can even marinate with spice powders and oven roast it. I sometimes shallow fry or toast it in tawa which tastes good too.
