Kochur Dom\Dum Arbi

Since my last post, I was busy with shifting to my new place & arranging it. So could not find time to prepare something which I can share with you, except for this recipe & one more (which I shall try to post soon, as the house arrangement is still going on). I wanted to have Aloor Dom, but here I hardly can find the small potatoes. So modifying the Dom Aloo recipe with these small colocasia tubes. Hope to get some feedback :)
