Arbi – Hindi
Sepankizhangu – Tamil
Cemagadda – Telegu
I know only these three languages, so I am able to translate it if there are any other names, please leave them in the comment section, I will add to the post.
It is a favorite evening time snack for my little one.
It can be even introduced as finger foods for babies also.
How to make Arbi Fingers?
1. Wash the Arbi very well to remove the mud in it.
2. Pressure Cook the Arbi , leave 2 to 3 whistles.
3. After it has cooled, peel the skin.
4. Cut them into finger sized pieces.
5. Take oil in a pan.
6. Fry them Golden brown.
7. Allow them to cool on a tissue paper, so that excess oil is removed.
8. In a wide bowl add little pepper/mirchi powder and salt, add the fried fingers in it and nicely mix the arbi with the other ingredients.
9. Arbi Fingers are ready!!!!

June 18, 2017 at 12:45 pmIt is rich is starch and carbohydrate and quite like potato fries. Sure, you can give once in a while. (as a rule of thumb, if giving it for the first time, give very small quantity)
