Arbi (Colocasia)

Arbi, also known as taro root or colocasia, is a starchy root vegetable commonly used in South Asian, African, and Pacific Island cuisines. It has brown, fibrous outer skin and white or purple-tinged flesh. When cooked, arbi becomes tender and has a slightly nutty and earthy flavour. It is versatile and can be boiled, roasted, fried, or used in curries and stews.
