Crispy honey lotus stem is a unique blend of Indian and Asian cuisines. Lotus stem is popularly used in North India and here is a step-by-step procedure to prepare an Asian meal with lotus stem.
Crispy honey lotus stem is a side dish that is prepared with a lotus stem as a main ingredient. Also known as kamal kakri, lotus stem is the edible portion of the lotus flower that grows under water. High in fibre and proteins, the chlorophyll in lotus stem acts as an antioxidant that fights cancer away.
Lotus stem is also known to strengthen the respiratory system of the human body. It can be eaten in the form of a salad or cooked to a scrumptious and healthy vegetable that can be enjoyed with chapatti or rice. It is mainly cooked in the Northern parts of India but it is now becoming a part of Chinese and Asian cuisines as well.
