Very similiar to potatoes in both texture and taste, arvi/colocasia or taro is easy to cook. It is the perfect addition to meat curry dishes. Chatpati arvi is a north indian dish and tastes especially good with plain boiled rice and lehsuni daal (garlic flavoured lentils) or rajma (red kidney bean curry). I love it even just by itselfIt is quick and easy to make so best made and eaten fresh and while still crisp. This my mother's recipe.
