Arbi Tandoori#SundayFunday

What is Arbi? Arbi is Taro root / Colocasia plant root. Arbi or Arvi as some call it here has many benefits. It's a fiber-rich food. It's dietary fiber helps to maintain the blood sugar level and potassium in it helps in heart health. Hence it is helpful in diabetes management. Helps to improve digestive health. Arbi, being rich in fiber content makes your stomach feel fuller for longer hours and reduces the number of calories intake throughout the day.
