• Wash and cook Arbi/ taro root in a pressure cooker with enough water for 2-3 whistles on medium flame. When all the steam gets released opens the lid of pressure cooker and drains it.  Boiling the arbi is also depend upon the quality of arbi which you have taken, sometimes arbi takes time to get soft and sometimes it gets soft in a very less time so after 2-3 whistles check the arbi and if it is not cooked then cook it for some more time. Do not over cook the arbi otherwise it will become mushy while stir frying.
• Once the Arbi becomes cool down peel off the skin with hands and cut into two pieces. If the arbi is larger in size then you can cut into 3-4 pieces.
