This is my MIL’s method of making seppankizhangu poriyal for rice. Sepan kizhangu is known as Colocasia or Taro root in English, Arbi in Hindi, Kesavuna gedde in Kannada, Chamagadda in Telugu.As its a healthy vegetable, we try to include this in our diet very often. Usually I make South Indian style arbi fry with or without coconut or add in gravy/kuzhambu. Today I have shared our version of seppankilangu poriyal with coconut & onion masala.It is a good side dish for sambar & mor kuzhambu. Soon I will share my seppankizhangu roast recipe without coconut. Now lets see how to make this yummy seppang kilangu poriyal with coconut.
