Tips and suggestions for dry arbi recipe | sukhi arbi recipe

  • While pressure cooking arbi, make sure that you parboil the arbi upto one whistle only because if you fully cook the arbi then it may disintegrate in oil while shallow frying and you will not get the crispy texture.
  • While adding spices to the fried arbi, you need to keep the flame low else the spices will burn.
  • Stirring the fried arbi to coat them with spices should be done carefully because the cooked arbi tend to break.
  • Use a non-stick pan for shallow frying arbi because arbi is starchy and it can stick at the bottom.
