Arbi recipe gravy curry is a unique and different way of using arbi or arvi in this curry. Arbi recipe here is a liquid based gravy curry into which goes tamarind extracted pulp and to thicken the gravy, paste of rice flour is added .
Other curry recipes or gravy recipes which are mainly veg curries are brinjal curry, punjabi chole, bottle gourd recipe.
Arbi or arvi is a very rarely used vegetable but it actually is a very tasty vegetable if made into a curry or fried or made into any chutney. Today's post is a Hyderabadi Arbi recipe where I have used arbi as kadhi. Every vegetable can be used to make kadhi such as bhindi ki kadhi, baingan ki kadhi etc..
The flavor of the dish is slightly tangy as tamarind water or pulp is added but, the flavor is balanced if rice flour paste or chick pea flour paste is added into it. Rice flour paste acts as thickening substance to any curry.
Arvi gosht recipe is also one of the common recipes made in Hyderabadi households into which gosht or mutton is added to the kadhi or gravy curry. It goes well with rice but can also be eaten with rotis.
It can be made occasionally during Sundays or during your free time. Arbi curry is a dish which can be tried and the efforts put into this kadhi can never go waste.
Arbi or arvi is commonly called as colocasia or taro in english terminology. Arbi has got lots of health benefits as it is very digestible and the leaves of this vegetable are good sources of Vitamins A and C.
Do follow the instructions carefully to make this arbi recipe which can also be called as arbi kadhi.
