arbi ki sabji | ghuiya ki sabji | dum arvi masala gravy | arbi sabji with detailed photo and video recipe. an authentic and traditional dum style punjabi curry with taro roots or more popularly known as arbi. it has a unique and strong flavour of itself and generally cooked with ajwain or carrom seeds for the flavourful blast. like any other traditional curries, it is ideally served with a choice of indian flatbreads and roti’s and even with steamed rice too.
taro or arvi bases recipes were long due on me and i were consistently looking for it in my local vegetable shop. i knew that taro recipes are quite popular in asian cuisine too, but was not able to get hold of fresh ones. here in australia, you can easily get the frozen and even sliced taro too. but i was not comfortable using frozen ones for my video post. i have a long list of arbi recipes and including the arbi dry sabji, makhana arbi, arbi jhol and chamagadda curry. due to its flavour, it can be used in different types of recipes yet resulting in a unique and tasty recipe.
furthermore, some more additional tips, suggestions and variants to the ghuiya ki sabji. firstly, even before using the taro roots in the curry, it must be cooked thoroughly. there are different ways to cook and you can either pressure cook it, deep fry it or even pan-fry it with oil. in this instance i have pan-fried for the sake of dum cooking. secondly, the texture and taste may be very similar to a potato but do not require the same amount of time to cook it. for instance, if you are pressure to cook it, you may need just one whistle whereas for potatoes you may need 4-5 whistles. lastly, do not attempt this recipe if you do not have ajwain or carrom seeds. carrom seeds help for digestion. also, you may want to use oil or gloves while cleaning and chopping it.
finally, i request you to check my other detailed curries recipe categories with this post of arbi ki sabji. it mainly includes my other related recipes like achari baingan, matar paneer, paneer ki sabji, ridge gourd, bharwa baingan, shimla mirch paneer, lauki ki sabji, aloo bhindi, shahi paneer, beans ki sabji. further to these i would also like to add some more additional recipe categories like,
