    Soak the tamarind in ¼ cup water for 10-15 minutes.

    Squeeze the tamarind in it to make a pulp.

    Boil the Arbi in water or pressure cook till partially cooked,not mushy.

    Peel and chop into small pieces.

    In a vessel, mix the turmeric powder, 1 tbsp chilli powder and salt with the tamarind pulp.

    Add the colocassia pieces, prick slightly with a fork and mix well.

    Leave to marinate for atleast half an hour.

    Heat oil in a wok or kadai.

    Add mustard seeds, urad dal and curry leaves.

    When the mustard splutters and the urad dal starts changing colour, add the marinated pieces.

    Add ½ tbsp of red chilli powder (optional) and fry till crisp.

    Is a yummy dish and sometimes can’t be differentiated from potatoes.
