Lotus roots are very low in saturated fats and rich in fiber, Vitamin C etc.
Ingredients:
1. Lotus root - 1
2. Tomatoes or canned tomatoes - 2
3. Corinder powder - 1/2 tsp
4. Chili powder - 1/2 tsp
5. Turmeric powder
6. Ginger/Garlic paste
7. Garam masala
8. Oil
9. Cilantro leaves to garnish
10. Cumin seeds
11. Mustard
12. Salt to taste
Description:
Take the Lotus root, wash and peel off the skin. Cut it into small rounds pieces. Chop the tomatoes into really small pieces. We can use canned tomatoes also, but I prefer to use the fresh tomatoes. Take a pan, pour little oil into it. Add mustard and allow to splutter, then add turmeric powder, cumin seeds, ginger/garlic paste and stir for few seconds so that the raw taste of ginger/garlic paste will go. Next add the chopped tomatoes, chili powder, corinder powder and salt into the tomatoes. Allow it to cook for few minutes. Then add little water into pan and put the Lotus root. Cover the pan with a lid and allow it to cook for like 10-15 minutes. Give stirs in between and add the garam masala also when its half cooked. After 10-15mnts, when the Lotus roots are cooked and soft, shift it to a serving plate and garnish with cilantro leaves. This sabzi goes good with rice etc.
