  • Step 1 Cook the lotus stem in boiling water

    To prepare this lip-smacking dish, in a pot add water and a pinch of salt and bring the water to boil. Once the water is boiling, add sliced lotus stems in it. Cook for 2 minutes only and drain the water once done. Put lotus stem under running cold water and then keep aside.

  • Step 2 Saute the spices with onions

    Now, in a pan heat oil. Once the oil is adequately heated, add in it chopped garlic and chopped ginger. Saute for a minute and add onions. Saute onions for 5 minutes till they start losing colour. Once done, add turmeric, coriander powder, pepper, chilli powder and salt. Continue cooking for another minute or two.

  • Step 3 Add gram flour and lotus stem

    Next, in the pan add gram flour and saute for 2 minutes. Follow by adding the lotus stems and mix well with the other ingredients. Cover the pan and let the dish cook for at least 20 minutes. Keep the flame low and keep checking in between.

  • Step 4 Serve hot

    When the lotus stems are properly cooked, transfer in a serving dish and serve hot.
