How I prepared nutritious and delicious Lotus root curry

Hello my fellow Vegan lovers,

What's up guys? I believe you are doing well. Greetings from Sri Lanka. Yesterday was my holiday and I was very quickly started to cook healthy vegan food for lunch. I asked from my wife, what's better to cook. After few minutes later she gave good idea to me. I went to local vegetable market and bought nutritious lotus roots. Many people don't know the healthy benefits of lotus root. I have heard some of useful advantages which we eat lotus root melas. So today I am going to sharing how I prepare delicious lotus root curry since our home.

Preparing method

  • First wash the lotus root well with water. It is important to wash as much as possible as lotus tubers may contain mud and sand as they are formed in mud. Then cut them into small pieces.

  • Heat a pan and add oil. When the oil is hot, add mustard seeds and splutter them.

This would be delicious with all of those nice ingredients and spices. I've never cooked with lotus root but I've had it. I must search for it in the Asian market and give it a try. Thanks for the recipe.
