Quick n Easy Taro Fry
Taro a commonly known edible starchy corm. It is a root vegetable that we make many dishes with. Taro root contains a significant amount of dietary fiber and carbohydrates, as well as high levels of vitamin A, C, E, B6, and folate, along with magnesium, iron, zinc, phosphorous, potassium, manganese and copper. That is why we have adopted this vegetable in our meals quite often in various forms. Taro is not the friendliest vegetable, but it has a unique meaty texture and taste. Today I will share a very quick and easy yet tasty recipe that can be enjoyed with rice or roti (Indian bread).
Chopped Taro root 
Tasty Taro Fry ready!
Taro root after you peel them off can be slimy, and hard to handle if washed. So peel them off and wash well, and then dry it before chopping. I often wash and let it air dry. I use “Magic Slicer” to slice them in small squared pieces. The trick of this recipe is after chopping them in small pieces, wash them again very well in cold water, to get rid of the slimy texture, then let it air dry before cooking.
