Arbi Teekha Masala

Arbi Teekha Masala

Arbi is the most common vegetable available during summers.As there are so many variations in making Arbi.
Some like to have it in simple boiled form with the Tadka of heeng and carom seeds or some people just deep fry them with dry masalas!
As i'am a little chatpati type of person so i have made this arbi tangy,spicy as well as tasty.
Cutting arbi is a little fussy work as sometimes it causes irritation and itching on hands,so better to apply some coconut oil in your hands while peeling and cutting the arbi.
As my daughter is not an arbi lover,but this kind of arbi she just loved it.As i served her this arbi with hot crispy buttery paranthas and she loved it!This is the most happiest moment when your kids starts eating vegetables without any objection :-)

As arbi is a very good for health it clears your stomach,it removes toxins in your body and detoxifies it.The most beneficial point for our beauty conscious girls are that it slow down the ageing process!

Please apply some oil while you start peeling the Arbis as i have mentioned above also!
