Colocasia Fry

          Colocasia or seppankizhangu or arbi is this yam like vegetable, found mostly in Indian and Chinese grocery stores here. It is a tuber just like the potato, I usually make this fry or add it to some curry or sambar. You can cook the vegetable, with the skin, in lots of water, peel the skin and fry it. But I don't do it that way, I peel the skin, slice it and then cook it. This way I feel the curry absorbs less oil, but whichever way you do it, the final verdict is yummy..

Colacasia Cutlets

           It's raining outside, the temperature is neither too cold nor too warm, curled up on the couch with your favorite book, your mug of tea or coffee and some munchies, okay girls, this is not happening here right now but just to create the mood. For me, that's when I crave most for some hot vadas, bhajjis, pakoras or cutlets. Coming to today's vegetable colacasia or seppankizhangu or arbi I usually make a fry or some gravy with it, but then, I wanted to try this out, replacing the potatoes that is most commonly used in cutlets. They turned out very good and tasted a little different, give it a try..
