ARBI VADA, COLACASIA VADA

I made arbi vada instead of making the normal batata vada.  Arbi dry subzi is a lovely side dish for sambar rice, curd rice, or dal rice and with roti too.  I was bored of eating the normal batata vada so thought of changing the routine thus this recipe was formed.

As usual you need the ingredients of normal batata vada with the exception of batata, use arbi.
