A delicious Arbi ki sabji which is amazing to mix with rice and eat. If you are bored with eating the dal, rasam or other same gravies, then you must definitely try this Arbi ki sabzi.

What is Arbi called in English?

The English name is colocasia root for the arbi.

What are the health benefits of Arvi?

There are a host of health benefits of the Arbi. Some of them are listed below:

  • It has anti-cancer properties.
  • Improves digestive health as it is fiber-rich food.
  • It helps in improving blood circulation.
  • Healthy heart.
  • Boosts the immune system.
  • Improves vision.
  • Excellent skin health.

How to make the curry powder for making this arbi ki sabzi with gravy?

The curry powder that I have added is homemade and you too can easily make it at home.

Roast the following ingredients lightly and grind to make a fine powder. Store in air-tight container for 2-3 months. 

  • 1/2 cup toor dal
  • 1/2 cup rice
  • 100 gms red chili
  • 100 gms coriander powder
  • 50 gms turmeric
  • 25 gms fenugreek seeds
  • 100 gms cumin seeds
  • 3 tsp asafoetida
  • 25 gms black pepper

Can I make the Arbi ki sabji without tamarind?

Yes, you can totally omit the tamarind water and relish this delicacy without it.

Pro Tips / Important points to remember while making the arbi ki sabji with gravy

  1. Always wear gloves or at least just be careful not to come in contact with your hands while washing the arbi. It causes itching if you do.
  2. If you do not have the homemade curry powder, you can use the store bought powder or add the powdered spices.
  3. You can cook without the pressure cooker, but it takes quite a bit of time to do so.

2. Add the arbi, tomato, curry powder, and salt. Give it a good stir and add the required amount of water for cooking the arbi.

3. Close the lid and cook till the arbi is done. When you pass a kitchen knife through it, it should just slide through. It takes about 5-6 whistles. Some arbi varieties take longer to cook than others, so adjust accordingly.
