Ingredients
For the Taro Fries
For the Spicy Sauce
- 2 tablespoons Oil
- 1 Onion thinly sliced
- 2 Tomato chopped
- 1 teaspoon Ginger 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
- 1/4 teaspoon Asafoetida hing, optional
- 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Chili Powder red
- 1/2 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Garam Masala
- 2 Chili green, slit
- 2 Chili dried, red

Instructions
Prepare the Taro Fries
- Cut the peeled taro root into fry-shaped sticks. Soak in salted water for 10-15 minutes. Drain well and pat completely dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Deep Fry the Taro
- Heat about 2 cups of oil in a deep pan or kadhai. Carefully add the taro sticks and fry until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Make the Spicy Sauce
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan or kadhai. Add the dried red chilies and asafoetida (if using) and sauté for 30 seconds. Add the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the sliced onions and cook until translucent. Stir in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, garam masala, and salt.
- Add the chopped tomatoes and green chilies. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften.
Combine and Serve
- Add the fried taro sticks to the sauce and mix gently to coat. Cover the pan and simmer for 8-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Serve hot as a side dish with chapati or paratha.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For extra crispy fries, ensure the taro sticks are completely dry before frying. Excess moisture will lead to soggy fries.
- Adjust the amount of red chili powder to your preferred spice level. For a milder flavor, reduce the amount or omit it altogether.
- Feel free to add other vegetables to the sauce, such as peas, carrots, or bell peppers, for added flavor and nutrition.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. The fries may soften slightly if allowed to sit for too long.
