JFI: Colocasia/Tara root/Arvi Stew

Tweet

I am a proud 'Recipe Marathon' runner who received a gold medal (beautifully designed by DK) for my successful run..*wink*. Thanks to RM, I found some amazing friends during the journey, had hearty laughs, enjoyable moments to be cherished for. Here I proudly showoff my 'gold medal'..:)


Tara-root, more popularly called as Arvi in India, is one of my favorite veggies and when cooked properly (without the goey texture), it tastes heavenly. My mama used to make either a fry or a simple tadka version of it. I learnt about this arvi stew at my friend's place. I tweaked a little bit and am happy that it turned our really yummy and lip smacking!

Off this stew goes to JFI:Tamarind, guest hosted by lovely Sig!

Food plays a very important part in one's life.I always had the passion for cooking and trying out new recipes. I love experimenting with food. Being a foods and nutrition graduate, I am always keen on how to make a recipe more nutritious at the same time tasty.........because it is a general belief that what is nutritious is not good in taste!! This blog is a sincere attempt to change this belief.
I am not a great chef....but a simple full time homemaker,through this blog I just want to share my experiences in the kitchen with you all and also get to learn something new from you.It would be a great pleasure if I can help somebody in any way through this blog.
