Coat each piece of Arbi with the mixture of rice flour and besan and deep fry for few seconds, till the flour layer forms a crisp covering. This is to get rid of slimy texture of Arbi.

Add some water (the one that you reserved after boiling vegetables) and let the mixture comes to a boil. Simmer and cook till the water is evaporated and vegetables takes up the flavor of spices. Be very gentle while mixing the vegetables or else you will end up with gooey mixture. If using pressure cooker, just close the lid of cooker and wait for one whistle. Switch off the gas and remove excess steam from cooker by holding the whistle up with spoon or fork. Optionally you can add 1 tsp of kitchen king to get a spicy flavor. 3.5.3251
