Seppankizhangu varuval
Sepppankizhangu is my all-time favorite vegetable, during my childhood days if I see varuval like Arbi, Potato, Vazhakkai in my lunch box, I will be super excited. Seppankizhangu Fry makes any main course extra.
What kind of Seepankizhangu is suitable for varuval?
Always choose a firm Taro root. I generally pressure cook for 1 whistle. you can also cook in the open pot but it might take a longer time for taro root to cook. Avoid soft taro root as it tends to turn mushy.

Can I add ginger garlic paste to the varuval?
Yes, you can add any masala according to your taste.
Is marination required for Cheppan kizhangu varuval?
I would recommend it. Refrigerating the arbi makes it firm which helps for a tasty poriyal texture.
Can I add less oil?
For tasty moru moru cast iron seppan kilangu varuval, you need to add oil for the best varuval texture. If you want to reduce oil taste and texture might vary. you can also use a nonstick pan and add less oil.
Can I cook the varuval in high flame?
No, cooking in low flame for at least 20 minutes yield the best poriyal. Also, avoid flipping the taro root frequently.
