Like Potato, tara root is another yummy vegetable most of us would love to make a stir-fry or a roast. Its very easy and quick to cook tara root and so delicious too. Most of us love to make a crispy roast out of this seppangkizhangu. The roast is always nice to have it hot or warm. But if we try to pack it for lunch, it will become less crispy and also will be more dry. But this Seppangkizhangu vathakal is a soft and tasty side dish that goes well with many conventional rice varieties like lemon rice, tomato rice, etc., and also with conventional sambar/ kuzhambu varieties. So I always love to make vathakal curry instead of roast. Try this simple and easy Seppangkizhangu Vathakal | Tara Root Stir-Fry Recipe and I'm sure you will love it!

Try to cook them preferably in the non-stick pan. With non-stick pan we need very less oil to cook this stir fry. However if you don't prefer non-stick pan, use the heavy bottomed pan. You may need slightly more oil to cook in the heavy bottomed pan.
