1. Prepare the Arbi:
   Begin by thoroughly scrubbing the arbi to remove any dirt and mud. Rinse it under water at least twice to ensure it’s clean. In a pressure cooker, add the arbi along with a pinch of salt and a little water, and cook it for 1 whistle. Be careful not to overcook it; the arbi should be cooked through but still firm to the bite.

2. Peel and Slice:
   Once the arbi is cooked and cooled enough to handle, peel off the skin and cut the roots in half lengthwise.

3. Whisk the Curd:
   In a separate bowl, whisk the curd (yogurt) until smooth and creamy. Set it aside for later.

4. Prepare the Tempering:
   Heat sunflower oil in a pan over medium heat. Add ajwain (carom seeds) and sauté them for about 10 seconds to release their aroma.

5. Add the Spices:
   Stir in Kashmiri red chili powder, turmeric powder, and coriander powder. Mix well and sauté the spices for a few seconds to blend the flavors.

6. Cook the Arbi:
   Add the cooked and halved arbi to the pan. Stir it well, ensuring the pieces are coated with the spices and oil. Cook on medium heat for about 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The arbi should become slightly crisp and golden.

7. Add Water:
   Pour in about 1/2 cup of water and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Let it cook for another 5 to 7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

8. Add the Whisked Curd:
   Reduce the heat to low and slowly add the whisked curd to the pan while continuously stirring to ensure it doesn’t curdle. Cook the curry for another 3-4 minutes until the gravy begins to thicken slightly.

9. Finish with Garam Masala:
   Sprinkle garam masala powder into the pan and add chopped fresh coriander leaves. Stir well to combine all the ingredients, then turn off the heat.

10. Serve:
    Serve your Arbi Dahi Wali Sabzi hot, paired with Pudina Tawa Paratha, Mixed Sprouts Sabzi, and a refreshing Kachumber Salad for a wholesome North Indian meal.
