- 300 grans Tara Root (Seppangkizhangu / Arbi)
- 2 tablespoon Cooking Oil
- ¼ teaspoon Turmeric Powder
- 1 teaspoon Sambar Powder

For Tempering
- 1 teaspoon Cooking Oil
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Split Urad Dal
- 1 sprig Curry leaves
Instructions
Preparation
- Wash the tara root thoroughly. Peel the skin of the Tara Root and chop them into small pices. As we are going to do the stir-fry it's important to chop them into smaller pices to ensure quick and uniform cooking
Start with Tempering
- Heat oil in a pan. Once the oil is heat add mustard seeds and allow it to sputter. Add split urad dal and fry till the dal turns golden brown. Finally add the curry leaves and fry it for few seconds in the oil
Making of Stir fry
- Add the chopped tara root. Add one tablespoon 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.
- The delicious Seppangkizhangu Vathakal is ready to serve!

Notes
- You can also add a tablespoon of thick tamarind juice which reduces the stickiness of the Arbi.
