How to Make Nadru Ki Yakhani

  1. Heat 2 cups of water in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 tsp fennel powder, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, 2 crushed green cardamoms, 1 crushed black cardamom, 1/2 tsp ground ginger, 2 cloves, 1/2 tsp cumin seeds, and salt to taste. Stir well.
  3. Add the sliced lotus stem and mix gently to coat with the spice mixture.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp gram flour and 1/2 cup plain yogurt until smooth.
  5. Pour the gram flour-yogurt mixture into the saucepan.
  6. Stir well to combine, ensuring no lumps remain.
  7. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low-medium.
  8. Simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the lotus stem is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  9. While the curry simmers, prepare the seasoning: Heat 1 tbsp ghee in a small non-stick pan over medium heat.
  10. Add a pinch of asafoetida (hing), followed by 1-2 finely chopped green chilies and 1/2 tsp cumin seeds.
  11. Allow the cumin seeds to crackle, about 30 seconds.
  12. Remove from heat and set aside.
  13. Stir the prepared seasoning into the simmering curry.
  14. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
  15. Serve hot with steamed white basmati rice. Enjoy!
