Must-Try Recipes of Mutton with Vegetables
How do you cook Colocasia without itching?
As you can see in the recipe, I have boiled the arbi | taro root (colocasia) and peeled the skin. I am completely allergic to arbi. When I peel them raw I end up with swollen and itchy fingers and palms. If I cook, without boiling, my tongue and throat will itch and sometimes get swollen too. If it is with you too, then, follow these simple steps,
- Add arbi to boiling water and turn off the flame. Leave this for 10-15 minutes and drain the water. Peel and cut into pieces, if needed.
- Alternatively you can pressure cook arbi for 1 whistle. Wait till pressure settles and drain the excess water. Peel and cut into pieces as needed.
- You can even microwave arbi, by spreading them on a plate and sprinkling water over them. Microwave for 5-8 minutes depending on the microwave you are using. Check in between to avoid burning of arbi.
- Soaking arbi in lukewarm salt water, will not only soft the arbi and also helps in preventing itching.
How do I stop Arvi itching?
There are many ways you can stop itching caused by peeling or cutting or eating of arbi. Here are few home remedies which are tried and tested by me,
- Apply generous amounts of coconut oil on your fingers and palms. Rest for 30 minutes and wash with cold water.
- Try applying tamarind water or paste. This is not only help in cooling the hands but also stops itching.
- Alternatively, you can gently rub your fingers and palms with apple cider vinegar.
