GARADU (INDORI STYLE), HOW TO MAKE GARADU INDORI STYLE

Garadlu, Kavathu, Kachil, Purple Yam is available during winter season and we make various dishes out of it mainly the Puzhukku or Thalagam for Thiruvathira with Kali. It has got the sticky nature like the Arbi, Colacasia. You have to wash it several times to remove the stickiness and starch out of it. We can directly fry them after pat drying but the Garadu with Jilebi is served in the region of Madhya Pradesh. It is first boiled and then cut into small cubes and fried. A famous street food item to relish during winter season. I wanted to taste this when I went to Ujjain but I was unfortunate. Wherever I went, it was not available. What you need is One Purple yam, remove the skin and cut into big pieces and cook the same. Cool it and cut into cubes and deep fry. Sprinkle some salt, Chaat masala or Jiralu Masala, Lime Juice and serve.
