Arbi ki Sabzi with Dahi (Curd)

Arbi is known by many names Arvi / Colacasia / Taro Root / Ghuiyan / Seppankizanghu(Tamil) / Chembu(Malyalam) / Kesavina Gedde(Kannada). 

Like its name, there are numerous ways of cooking it too. Boiled, Dry, gravy, stir fry, chips, stew and so on. It is a starchy vegetable like potato which can be boiled and peeled and is said to be very nutritious.
