Spiced Colocassia Root Chips – Arbi Tuk

Bringing out the unsung hero’s of the local vegetable markets is my place of absolute joy. Nothing excites me more than picking up vegetables that are used only in traditional Indian recipes and are rarely perceived in any other manner. This is a simple salad made from Kohlrabi or as we call it in Hindi – गाँठ गोबी . This root vegetable grows across the Indian subcontinent and is jam packed with complex flavors and juiciness.

1. Put the arbi in the pressure cooker with 4 cups of water and a tbsp of salt for 5-6 whistles
