Colocasia Roast

Clean the Colocasias thoroughly under running water . Repeat the process for five times as it carries a lot of mud and sand along with it .

Now take a large container , add 3 to 4 large glasses of water , add the cleaned colocasias and let it boil for about 12 minutes . Use a fork and check whether the vegetable is cooked or not . Don’t cook it too soft / mushy . Par boiled state will do .

Now transfer these boiled colocasias to a bowl containing normal water . This step eases in removing the skin of the Colocasias .

Start removing the skin of the Colocasias and place the whiter part of the Colocasias in a dry plate . Make sure the inner part doesn’t come in contact with even a drop of water . The more drier , the more crispier the roast would result .

Heat 3 tablespoons sesame oil in a wide pan . Add turmeric powder , chilli powder , coriander powder , salt , hing to the oil and mix well along with the oil . Maintain a low flame so that this masala wouldn’t turn dark and burnt . Add the curry leaves ( 7) .

Now add the cleaned , drained colocasias ( white part ) and keep tossing it for few seconds until the masala gets coated completely over the colocasias . Now let it roast slowly under low flame for 10 to 15 minutes . Keep tossing in between so that the sides cook , gets roasted evenly .

Roast till the colocasias become golden brown , until you get an aroma .

Serve hot .
