Arbi K Chande - A traditional Indian Dessert

Before cutting arbi, do apply sarson ka tel ( Mustard Oil) on your hands as it will prevent itching due to natural chemicals found in the Arbi vegetable. Clean and dry Arbi. Cut thin chips out of it.

Wash them again and spread it out on towel. Let them dry for 2 hours under the fan or medium sunlight. Now heat ghee in a pan and fry them till golden. Take them out on tissue papers to soak extra ghee.

Meanwhile prepare chaashni ( sugar syrup) of one taar ( strand). For chaashni, put sugar in a wok. Put water. Let it simmer on medium sim. Keep observing it and keep switching between medium and high sim.

This taar decides the consistency and thickness of that chaashni i.e sugar syrup. Now once you see a single strand in the chaashni, that means it is ready.

Pour all the Arbi Chips in that and start stirring them fast. Your stove should be on medium sim. Gradually you will see sugar getting dried up and getting coated on the Arbi Chips.

Keep stirring well on low sim till all the chips are coated. Now take them out on a tray and let it cool down. Arbi k meethe chande are ready!
