Kamal Kakdi Ke Kabab Recipe

Lotus (kamal) is a beautiful flower, considered to be the national flower of India. But did you know that lotus stem (kamal kakdi) is used for making kebabs? As surprising as it might sound, lotus stem is an ingredient, which is crunchy and mildly sweet flavour is usually used for gravy. It is a rich source of iron, fibre and vitamin C. In this recipe, I have used lotus stem to prepare juicy kebabs.

For the kebab dough, Bengal gram (chana dal) has been used. The lotus stem is boiled in some water to make it tender and soft. It is made into a smooth paste, and some nuts and chopped coriander (dhaniya) are mixed for the stuffing. The nuts give the stuffing a creamy, rich flavour while coriander gives a fresh hint. Garlic (lahsan) and a variety of spices are added to the soaked Bengal gram and ground to a fine paste. These spices can be added according to taste. After mixing both pastes, corn starch is also added to give the batter a thick consistency. These round-shaped kebabs are stuffed with the filling and shallow-fried in a non-stick wok. They turn into perfectly golden-brown balls of pure joy. Kamal Kakdi ke Kebabs are can be served hot with tomato ketchup or chutney. Expect people to be mind-blown when they realise that they just gobbled on some lotus stem.
