Arbi Fry (Veg Fish Fry)

Surprised Na .........
How come I have put fish in veg category ??? There is a story behind it ...My mom cooked the same recipe when I was 8 years old.. She served it saying fish fry to me and my brother. We both liked it a lot, later we came to know that it was arbi instead of fish but till then it became one of our favourite dish.
Now after so many years whenever I cook this recipe at my place I call it as "Fish fry" ....I know its weird but  this recipe reminds me of my childhood days. I dedicate this recipe to my MOM ....I hope mom I made it in the same way like you used to do .....
