Cheppankizhangu Fry / Cheppankizhangu Varuval / Chamadhumpa fry / Colocasia Fry / Taro Root Fry / Chamadumpa Fry



Hi to all my dear friends and bloggers. After a long break, I stepped in again with lots of determination to post all the drafts I have made. In this year 2013, I am going to post regularly and make it more exciting for you all.

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year 2013.

Start with, I am giving my version of Cheppankizhangu Fry ( Taro Root / Colocasia Fry ).  Though I love this fry, somehow I was not a big fan of that sticky kozha kozha Cheppankizhangu Fry. To avoid that stickiness, I tried a different method to make the curry more delicious and presentable. My family loved this version and the appreciations at home made me to present this to you all in my blog confidently. This fry is definitely going to be an excellent side curry during any occasions. Instead of having our regular Potato fry, try to substitute this yummy Cheppankizhangu Fry in your menu and see the difference. Your comments and suggestions are always welcome to improvise this dish and also my blog.
