How to Use
EDO (Arbi) must be cooked thoroughly before consumption. To prepare, peel the skin (some people prefer to boil slightly before peeling for easier removal, or use gloves to avoid potential skin irritation from raw sap). Once peeled, cut into desired shapes and sizes. It is excellent in savory curries, fried until crispy as "Arbi Fry" or "Chana Dal Arbi Sabzi," boiled and mashed, or added to stews. Ensure it is fully tender before serving to neutralize the natural calcium oxalate.
