Lotus stem/roots are very healthy and fibrous ingredients.
To start with, I had no clue about cooking with lotus stems except once I have
heard my aunt talking about making vathal with it. But then I have never tasted
those vathal or haven’t even seen them as they are not a common sight in south
Indian markets until I saw these in sabzi mandis. Only after moving here the
visits to sabzi mandis have made me look upon other ingredients and cooking with
seasonal veggies going with the flow.
