We also make the same curry with potatoes. So if you do not have or get taro roots, you can make the same curry with boiled potatoes.

Hi Dassana,I would like share an Arbi recipe with you and it is not a fasting dish exactly. Boil small Arbis.then peel and flatten them in your palms.Apply salt,hing,haldi,chilli pwd and mix well .Keep aside for sometime.Then rollin fine rawa or rice flour and shallow fry.It tastes excellent.I saw this on a Marathi cookery show.I do not remember which.But I think you can also add some amchur as the arbis were itching very slightly.Try this. Thanks.
thanks shubha for sharing this recipe. it is so sweet of you. in fact co incidentally today i made a similar arbi recipe for the fast. posted it just now. but i will try your version too. the rava or rice flour would give a nice crispy texture to the arbi.
As always, delicious!
Love the spices used! I would slurp it as a soup more than a curry on a cold winter night.
