A few days ago, my mom accidentally overboiled some colocasia root (अरबी), and that’s when I decided to do one of my kitchen experiments. 🙂 While making it, I was a little nervous about how the Arbi Ka Bharta Recipe would turn out, especially the taste and texture. But everyone at home loved it, and the texture turned out really good!

This Arbi Ka Bharta makes a delicious addition to my Side Dishes collection and is a nice way to enjoy arbi in a different form.
