Fire on slow now. Keep stir frying after turning Arbi pieces on intervals. Cook on slow fire till Arbi pieces are crispy and light brown. Now you may tilt out some oil from pan. We put more oil in the beginning  to facilitate easy frying of the stuff.

After removing extra oil, continue stir frying till Arbi pieces become crispy and

brown. This will take about 12-15 minutes (because its on very slow fire) May sprinkle little garam masala. ( its optional)
