Crispy Seasoned Arbi is a wonderful dish and can be served as a snack or as a side dish with a meal. Spice it up or keep it mild, you’ll still have a winner. Stuff it in a bun and have it as a burger with a bit of chutney and ketchup on it…mmm…endless possibilities.

Chaat Masala

6. While they are still warm, place the Arbi between your plams and press.
7. Flatten the Arbi evenly.
8. On a skillet, heat Oil.
9. Place the Arbi in hot Oil and cook it is a golden color.
10. Flip the Arbi and repeat the process on the other side.

Tips:
1. Buy similar size Arbi so they cook at the same time.
2. Shallow frying the Arbi will make them crispier.
3. Flattening the Arbi while it is still warm is a good idea, once they are cold they will break easily.
4. Flatten ahead of time and cover with plastic wrap and store in the fridge, fry when needed.
