When I was pregnant, my doctor advised me to eat thamarai thandu vathal for my lunch as its rich in fiber, good for diabetes, controls stress and regulates blood pressure. It is also rich in Vitamins and minerals. So I used to get the dried lotus stem chips from Salem Home foods shop. My mom fries it along with papad and give me for lunch everyday. I love its taste. I never thought lotus root chips can be made at home with fresh lotus stem. Last week I bought some fresh Lotus stem online from FTH – Vegetable and grocery delivery app.
I tried this crispy and crunchy lotus stem chips yesterday for our weekend lunch along with vegetable biryani. It came out so well. Making lotus root chips at home is very easy. All you have to do is to wash and peel the skin. Slice thinly and deep fry. To make in Indian style, I added some red chilli powder and chat masala to the deep fried chips. It tastes so good with mild sweet taste ! We all loved it. In fact, this homemade lotus stem chips tastes much better than the ones I had during my pregnancy.
