Wash the seppankizhangu well. Place them in a pressure cooker. Add water to almost cover the vegetable and cook for 2 whistles. Switch off.
Once the pressure settles down, open the cooker and check if arbi is cooked well. Make sure it cools down, peel the skin and cut them into small circles.
Add oil to a pan. Once hot, add mustard seeds. Once it splutters, add urad dal, chana dal, curry leaves. Add the sliced arbi and mix gently.
Add salt, turmeric powder, kashmiri chilli powder, sambar powder, rice flour. Mix gently to ensure the seppankizhangu is coated well with all spice powders.
Mix the vegetable in regular intervals to ensure it cooks well on all sides.
Cook on medium flame till the seppankizhangu is well roasted and turns golden brown on all sides.
Serve the Seppankizhangu Roast with your choice of rice.
Notes
Adjust spices to your taste. You can skip rice flour but it is highly recommended to get a good result. Arbi should be cooked well and must retain its shape. Make sure it doesn't turn mushy. I usually cook arbi for 2 whistles and get perfect result. If yours is not cooked after 2 whistles, cook for 1 more whistle and check again.
