Looks delicious! Can't wait to try this one out! :)
Steaming the veggie is a cool idea. Good recipe.
I've had taro chips, but not these. Look at how golden crusty they are! Steaming is a great idea.
Looks yum, almost like Potatoes!:))
Is this arvi/colocassia -looks like it though. The idea of steaming the veggie is super. It looks really yumm
Good idea to steam the veggie in the idli stand. Nice post.
Hi Deepa! Taro root fry is one of my husband's favourite dishes. Usually I make pulusu. Steaming is a good idea.I have some taro root at home...i will try it your way.

Taro root is my fav. I do a deep fry or boil and make a dry curry. But your version is so simple. I'll surely do this next time and give you an update.
I was doing a recipe search for Taro and came across your blog! Incredible! But I am not sure what two things are. What is a kadia? it is a small roasting or frying pan? and what is Urdh Dhal? I found some references to lentils-it it lentil flour or whole lentils? I will keep looking on google but hopefully you will see my questions. And I will be back for yummy ideas too. Thanks.
Jan in Michigan 2AM and starving.

Btw, is it just me, or making this recipe take about 30 mins n more?
