Seppankizhangu roast is a simple dry sabzi made in Tamil homes and served with any south indian rice.The Taro or Seppankizhangu is boiled and then fried with some spices until they are roasted well. These are extremely easy and delicious dish to make. The best combo is to with Curd rice. The tricky thing is to cook the Seppankizhangu or Taro to the right texture. It should not become mushy. I came to know about this recipe from my perima and she taught me to make this dry sabzi. She also said that the addition of rice flour will gives crispiness. After that I have started making this curry regularly at home.

Arbi Roast roast looks so delicious and chatapta. loved the masala coated arbi cubes, I can finish off the whole bowl without any chapati or paratha!
Love how simple and delicious this taro roast looks. Love the addition of rice flour at the end to make the sabji more crispy. I probably would have a bowlful on its own.
I am a big fan of arvi and always love to try and make something delicious.
Your version of arvi looks so crisp and spicy. Would love to try it.
