Recipe
1
Wash the sliced lotus stem thoroughly to remove any dirt trapped in the holes, then soak in water with a pinch of turmeric.
2
Heat oil in a pressure cooker and add cumin seeds, letting them splutter.
3
Add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.
4
Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook until the raw aroma disappears.
5
Add chopped tomatoes along with turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Cook until tomatoes turn mushy and oil separates.
6
Add the drained lotus stem slices and potato cubes to the masala. Toss well to coat the vegetables evenly with the spices.
7
Pour in 2 cups of water, secure the lid, and pressure cook for 4 to 5 whistles until the lotus stem and potatoes are tender.
8
Release the pressure naturally, open the cooker, and simmer for a few minutes to adjust the gravy consistency.
9
Sprinkle garam masala and garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
10
Serve hot alongside freshly made warm phulkas.
