Saru Besara

Saru besara...☝ Presenting a typical ODIA STYLE ARBI CURRY. Most of us called it Saru/ Taro/Arbi, one of the healthy n nutrient-rich vegetable which is used for various Indian cooking..Both leaves n roots of Arbi are used for cooking.Each and every state have their own way to cook them. In Odisha, we widely used Saru while making of Dalma, Ghanta and besara. And my favorite is "Saru besara", the nutty n mildly sweet flavour of saru perfectly infuses in the pungent flavour of mustard and gives the perfect taste to my palate.
