    Hi Pankhuri, I tried this recipe slightly different. I boiled the arbi in a pressure cooker, just one whistle. Cooled and peeled the arbi and cut into 2 lengthwise. I then added haldi, red chillie, dash of g.masala, hing, ajwain and dash of besan. Shook it all uptogether and deep fried a few pieces ar a time till crisp. Then removed and drained on kitchen paper and sprinkled chaat masala/amchoor.

    @ rashmi ji, i add tamarind pulp or yogurt to reduce itchiness. the sourness will def reduce itchiness.
