I am sure many of you may not know what Eddoe or Arbi is 🙂 Well it’s a root which looks similar to Ginger (slightly similar) .. but is high in fiber and is mildly sweet. In it’s raw form it looks like this:

(More details here) Anyways .. it happens to be easily available in the Indian subcontinent and has been one of my favorite dishes. I happened to stumble upon it in a Sri Lankan shop in Berlin. Hence this recipe:

• Boil Eddoe for 20 min
• Set it aside and peel the skin after it cools down
• Slice them and sprinkle them with chickpea flour, turmeric, chilly powder and salt
• In a pan heat some oil
• Add mustard seeds and let them pop
• Add crushed garlic and saute for a minute
• Add the sliced Eddoe and saute for 5-10 min

Voila!
