Arbi Fry
(taro roots) is a simple, easy, and delicious vegetarian dish that can be
prepared within 20 minutes.
Arbi, for those who don’t know, is the Urdu
name for the taro root. It has a subtly sweet taste and is often used in savory
recipes in Pakistan.
Mainly, I learned this recipe
from my mother, who used to make it with a very simple method, and it always tasted very good. An interesting fact about me is that I didn’t eat ladyfingers
or taro root during my childhood. Whenever my mother used to cook, I didn’t eat at
all.
But the first time I heard about both vegetables, I learned that they are so beneficial for
bones. Since then, I started including these veggies on our menu. And
Alhamdulillah, now I'm extremely fond of eating bhindi (lady-fingers) and arbi
(taro root). Especially fried arbi or bhindi. I also have a FRIED BHINDI recipe on my blog.

Taro Roots Health Benefits:
Taro root is a vegetable
used in a variety of cuisines around the world. It has a mild, nutty taste,
starchy texture, and nutritional benefits that make it a healthier alternative to
other root vegetables like potatoes. Taro root is commonly added to savory
dishes or fried as a snack, but it can also add creaminess and purple color
to sweet recipes.
Taro is rich in nutrients that can provide
important health benefits. A one-cup serving has a third of your daily
recommended intake of manganese, which contributes to a good metabolism, bone
health, and blood clotting.
Its high levels of vitamins can also promote
healthy vision, skin, circulation, and immune system function.
