Colocasia Deep Fry

This is from Tamilnadu... :)

Ingredients:

Colocasia - 1/4 kg
Tamarind Extract - 100 ml
Turmeric powder - a pinch
Chilly powder - 2tbsp
Salt - to taste

For Seasoning:

Mustard
Curry leaves
Oil

Method:

Wash colocasia thoroughly and boil it until it is 3/4th cooked and then peel off the outer skin. In a heavy bottomed pan heat oil ( about 50 ml) add mustard, curry leaves, turmeric, chilly powder. When mustard splatters add the boiled colocasia and salt. Stir it fully and close the pan with a lid. Keep the stove in sim mode and stir occasionally. Allow it on fire till the colocasia burns on sides. Make sure it doesn't stick to sides of the pan. If needed more more oil to avoid stickiness. When it is fried to a level you need remove from the flame. Serve with dhal rice, rasam rice, etc.

P.S: My kids (well my sisters') love this. It is oily and need to be cooked rarely and served with non fatty rice varieties.

Cheers,
