I lived on a diet of bread, milk and fruits as a child. My mom's skills at serving lightly cooked vegetables full of colour,flavour and nutrition were wasted on me. I took to cooking a little late in life and have been making up for the lost time ever since....
Ajwain wali Arvi is a typical north indian vegetarian side dish and is usually a hit if balanced well with spices..
Ingredients
Arvi (about 750gms) also called collocasia stems
green chillies
dry masalas (red chilli powder, roasted cumin powder, corainder powder, dry mango powder, tumeric)
salt to taste
green chillies
ajwain (caraway seed)
Method
Boil the arvi, after washing it well, in a pressure cooker. Peel the brown skin off and cut the stems into 2-3 peices.
Heat some mustard oil in the kadai and put a teaspoon and a half of ajwain and green chillies.
Add arvi peices when the tempering starts spluttering.
Add the dry masalas and saute well till the masalas are nicely roasted.
Serve hot with chapattis and enjoy!
