Like Potato, tara root is another yummy vegetable most of us would love to make a stir-fry or a roast. Its very easy and quick to cook tara root and so delicious too. Most of us love to make a crispy roast out of this seppangkizhangu. The roast is always nice to have it hot or warm. But if we try to pack it for lunch, it will become less crispy and also will be more dry. But this Seppangkizhangu vathakal is a soft and tasty side dish that goes well with many conventional rice varieties like lemon rice, tomato rice, etc., and also with conventional sambar/ kuzhambu varieties. So I always love to make vathakal curry instead of roast. Try this simple and easy Seppangkizhangu Vathakal | Tara Root Stir-Fry Recipe and I’m sure you will love it!
Few tips to make best tasting Seppankizhangu Stir Fry
- Usually we pressure cook the Seppankizhangu first and then we make the seppankizhangu stir fry. But in this recipe, we are cooking them directly. To enable quicker and uniform cooking, we need to chop the Kizhangu in to smaller pieces.
- Try to cook them preferably in the non-stick pan. With non-stick pan we need very less oil to cook this stir fry. However if you don’t prefer non-stick pan, use the heavy bottomed pan. You may need slightly more oil to cook in the heavy bottomed pan.

For Tempering
- 1 tsp Cooking Oil
- 1 tsp Mustard seeds
- 1 tsp Split Urad Dal

Making of Stir fry
- Add the chopped tara root. Add one tbsp of oil and mix well. Add turmeric powder, sambar powder and give a good stir
- Cover the pan and allow it to cook in the medium flame. Check intermittently if the tara root has cooked well. For me it only took 5 minutes to cook.
- Once it's cooked, add another table spoon of oil and mix well. Simmer the stove and allow it to cook for another 5 more minutes without covering the pan. This will help to get the tara root more crispier.

Tried today. Excellent. I was always getting it kozha, kozha so far.
Thanks Swaminathan for trying this and sharing your feedback.
Mam, this is ok for less quantity.
What about for 1 kg and more. Is it scalable to peel and cut the small arbi when the quantum is more?
Pls suggest and put a new and easy recipe for that also????…I am a big fan of subbuskitchen.Thanks
Hello Subha, Thanks for your comments. For larger quantities, it’s advisable to pressure cook the arbi, peel the skin and stir fry it. Please refer the recipe in the link below for the same – https://www.subbuskitchen.com/seppankizhangucheppankizhangu-roasttaro/
