Lotus stem or Nadru as called in Kashmir is an underwater root Vegetable which has a shape as that of a squash. It can grow upto a length of 4 feet. Found in shallow parts of water bodies like Dal lake, Wular lake, Mansar lake and ponds in the valley. As Lotus stem or root is rich in Fiber, it helps in digestion. It also is a great source of Vitamin C that helps boost the immunity of the body and helps keep viral infections at bay.

These are the simple plain Salted Chips that I have tried here after slicing them real thin.
And I usually pack this short break time at School or for a healthy Brunch on a weekend or even as a crisp and super tempting snack at Tea-time or Shaam ki Chai.

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
