Unfortunately I am unable to help you; see I am in Boston, USA and do not have access to a good source of arrow-root.
Even in the cities in india it is difficult to find good arrowroot. If you have any relatives or friends in rural india they should be able to find some for you.

btw, you can always use “refined” maida, which is also a good source of carbohydrates. It is not as easy on the stomach, but will do in a crunch. Also, most pharmacies will have ‘arrowroot’ powder in medicinal qualities.

Best Wishes in your search and let me know where you find it,
Arun

The leaves of this plant look very similar to turmeric leaves, but have thicker veins and do not have the aroma. After the leaves are dried, the tubers are removed and this flour is prepared using a very tedious process. The kachra peet has some dirt particles in it. So while using in any dish, it needs to be washed to remove all the dirt. At our native, it is available in the form of big chunks. This starch is easily digestible. So it is fed to people with stomach problems. Please read more about this flour at Arun Shanbhag’s blog. [...]

Sorry to hear that you are having difficulties in procuring arrowroot powder. It is difficult to get it in the cities. you need to find a friend or relative in the villages and ask them to get it for you. It is usually the tribals who make this.

It is available in the pharmacy stores, but that is medicinal and is very expensive. Regular “atta” is a good source of carbohydrate – which is essentially what arrowroot is. Many people make chappatis and parathas with atta instead of whole wheat flour give that a try.

If you have to decrease protein, I can recommend, reducing meat (chicken, etc) intake.

Best Wishes
Arun
