I am a die hard fan of Onion Sambar + Seppankizhangu fry combo. I found the Seppankizhangu fry (Taro Root Stir-Fry) in many wedding reception as this is being attracted by numerous food lovers. This is also one of the easy dish and turn out to be amazing, but you should take care of few things carefully to get it perfect.

Method:
- The first step is to clean the taro root(Seppenkizhangu) and cook the same. The Seppenkizhangu should not be over cooked, then it get mashed and we won’t get the fry/roast and hence it is very important to make sure that we cook the Seppenkizhangu properly. This can be done by couple of methods – You can cook it in microwave (or directly in the stove) and check occasionally to see if you are able to peel the skin. If you are able to peel the skin then its a right stage and you should stop the cooking. The other easy method is to pressure cook it. I cooked the pressure cooker only with only whistle. But the duration of time required for cooking varies from type, age and origin of seppenkizhangu and you should adjust your cooking time accordingly. Try with 1 whistle, it should be fine.. after one whistle of cooking, if you are not able to peel the skin, then you may need to cook it for one more whistle. Take the cooked taro root(Seppenkizhangu) from the pressure cooker (after the steam is fully released) and remove the skin
- Chop each cooked seppenkizhangu into 2 or 3 pieces. I forget to take the picture of it. It is important to make sure that we chopped into smaller to medium pieces – It helps to get a uniform fry with lesser oil and it would be more tastier. If you are roast/fry lover, then you can cut this into even thin pieces, but then it requires more oil (and gives better taste) to cook. I wouldn’t advice that as it’s not good for health. I would go for medium pieces fry :-). Add the rice flour, gram flour, red chilli powder, hing, salt and turmeric to the chopped pieces. Sprinkle very little water and gently mix it well using wooden slotted spoon (or preferably using your hand) so that the cooked and chopped taro root(Seppenkizhangu) does not get smashed
- Heat a pan and add oil. When the oil is hot, add mustard seeds. When the mustard seeds starts to sputter, add the mixed taro root(Seppenkizhangu) and keep it in low flame and allow it to fry. As you know the kizhangu is already cooked and now we are cooking it again with masala for a fry hence the medium to low flame is enough.
- Keep in low flame for atleast 20 mins. You should check at regular interval and sauté it gently, add little oil if required. In about 20 minutes the taro root(Seppenkizhangu) is roasted nicely and each piece will be separate and will not stick with the rest.
- The yummy taro root(Seppenkizhangu) roast is ready to serve with sambar or kuzhambu varieties.
