Cheppankilangu Roast

Cheppankilangu or Arbi is one of my favourite root vegetables. I usually prepare roast with this and it is very tasty. It goes very well with rasm rice or curd rice. I also used some sesame seeds to sprinkle on the roast which gave a nice crunch and aroma. 
Cleaning and boiling Arbi/ Cheppankilangu:
The arbi is first washed thoroughly in water to get rid of mud. Then add water enough to immerse the arbi and bring it to boil. Then simmer and let the arbi cook. Insert a tooth pick aand if it slides easily inside, then the arbi is cooked. Strain the water and allow it to cool. Remove the skin. It peels out easily if completely cooked. Cut it into thin slices. The arbi is ready for the next step.

Ingredients:
Arbi-250gm
Oil-4tbs
Turmeric Powder-1/4tsp
Red Chilly Powder-1tsp(adjust according to your taste)
Salt-to taste
Sesame seeds-1tsp

Procedure:
1. Heat oil and add the boiled and sliced arbi to it. Using a non stick pan can make your work easier. If you are not usin a non stick pan, then let the arbi cook on medium flame for some time before you stir it. Otherwise it will crumble.
2. Carefully turn the pieces so that the slices on top go to the bottom to fry.
3. After some time, the pieces will separate due to frying.
4. Add salt and turmeric powder and stir carefully. If you want it very crispy, add some more oil and simmer until it becomes crispy.
5. But if you want it soft, then add red chilly powder and sesame seeds, give a nice stir and transfer to a serving bowl.
6. Serve it hot with rice.
