Taro Roots and Greens Fry:
Sepankizhangu – Sepankizhangu Ilai Varuval.
Seriously, I had no clue what I was aiming at…when I bought those amazing looking collacassia greens, oh man…they were very appealing, garden fresh cut:) Well…after making considerable batch of Maharastrian Wadi, I still had bunch of leaves left. So, just like that…thought about this one recipe, where the Arbi gets roasted along with Tamil Nadu vadagam…just by adding these greens, it turned out even better.
Ingredients:
- 1/4 kg taro roots
- 7 taro leaves
- 3 chilies
- 1 onion
- 4 garlic
- 2″ ginger
- 1 tomato
- 1/2 tamarind paste
- salt
- 1/4 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp chili
- Vadagam 1-2 tsp
- 1/4 tsp mustard
- 1/4 tsp cumin
- 1/4 asafoetida
- 1/4 c sesame oil
Method:
Boil the roots for about 10-15 minutes. Peel off its skin, and chop them down. In an iron wok, heat oil. Throw in all the spices, wait till it crackles and turns aromatic. Now, add curry leaves, chilies, ginger-garlic and onions, fry real good. Followed by tomatoes and tamarind paste. Further add salt, turmeric and chili powders. Stir-in the chopped roots…fry real good. Once they are almost done, add the chopped leaves to it and continue frying. Serve to go with your meals.
