Arbi Fry

My brother's Favourite dish. He loves Rasam, Rice and Arbi Fry. Scooby, this is for you.

We usually think this fry needs lots and lots of oil. However, I made this fry with a Tablespoon of Oil. SO it is just knowing how to use the utensils that we have.

Ingredients

Arbi - 1/2 Kg
Chilly powder - 1 Tablespoon
Dhania Powder - 1/2 tablespoon
Hing and Turmeric - a pinch
Salt and Oil.

The first step for making a good Arbi Fry is to select the right Arbi. The Arbi should be smooth and round. It should be too big and twisted and twirled.

I cook the Arbi in Pressure Cooker. My mom cooks it in a vessel with the lid on. I think both way works. Pressure cooker is easier and time saver.

I cook my Arbi in Pressure cooker for 5 whistle swith a dash of salt and allow it to cool on its own.

Then change the water and peel the skin of the Arbi.

Cut them into small pieces like a coin.

Now take a kadai, heat the oil. Once the oil is heated put the Arbi and allow it to sit for 2-3 minutes. Don't Stir.

After 2-3 minutes, toss the arbi in the kadai. Don't use the ladle.

Do this for 3-4 minutes till you see a coating brown colour of the both sides of the ARbi.

At this stage, add Chilly powder, Dhania Powder,Turmeric and Hing and Toss.

Remember to always toss and never use a ladle. When the dish almost done, add salt, toss and leave it on flame for a minute and then serve.

Note:

•  The key in this recipe, is to toss the Arbi and not use Ladle.
• Use a Non stick kadai for this recipe.
• Add salt only towards the end.
