Bhuni Arbi

🇮🇳 Indian

Taro cubes pan-roasted till crisp-edged and soft-centred, a Punjabi winter classic. The kind of homely bhaji that disappears fastest off the thali. Pile beside phulka and a bowl of cooled yogurt.

Resting the finished dish for five minutes off the heat lets the spices settle and deepen.
