Chamadumpa Avakaya - Colocasia/Arbi Pickle

I have tried something new with Chamadumpa(Colocasia/Arbi) this time. Fry and gravy curries are made commonly at my place. But this time I tried pickle and it was a soooooooooooper hit!! Here is the recipe...

Ingredients:

1/2 Kg Chamadumpalu(Arbi)
3/4th Cup Red Chilly Powder
1/2 Cup Salt
1/2 Tsp Turmeric Powder
1/4 Cup Roasted Methi Powder
2 Tbps Mustard Powder
4 Tbps Lemon Juice
1 Cup Cooking Oil 

Chamadumpa Avakaya - Arbi Pickle

Process:

1.  Wash and clean Chamadumpalu(Arbi). Pressure cook with a little water up to three whistles.
2. While the pressure escapes from the cooker, prepare the masala. Take a wide vessel, make sure it is completely dry. Mix all the dry ingredients thoroughly and keep it aside.
3.  Once the pressure is escaped from the cooker, strain the cooked Chamadumpalu(Arbi) and pour some cold/tap water. Peel the skin and keep them aside.
4. Take a Kadai, add 3-4 Tbps of Cooking oil and heat it. Once the oil is hot put the Arbi and fry. Fry them till they turn golden brown.
5. Once it's done, add the masala that was prepared and mix well. Cook it for 1 min and then turn off the stove. Now add the remaining oil and mix well. Let it cool. Now add the Lemon Juice and mix it well.
6. Check the seasoning and adjust it accordingly.  Bottle it, leave it for one day before consuming. Serve it with steaming hot Rice and Ghee.
