How to prepare Kamal Kakdi ki Sabzi (Dry Recipe of lotus root steam)
Lotus stem also known as Kamal Kakdi, Bhea, Bhein, Bheen, lotus root. Crunchy and delicate flavored lotus root is an under water edible rhizome of lotus plant.
Lotus root retains a lot of its crunch even after cooking and provides a unique texture to the subzi.
Lotus roots are very rich in iron, calcium and high in dietary fiber.
My today's recipe of Kamal Kakdri fry is side dish and its in dry form and go very well with dal rice.
