How to Boil Bhiss

by - 1:52 PM

We use bhiss/kamal kakdi/bhey/nadru/lotus stem in making verious dishes. Most of us find it difficult to make it soft while cooking.  It is not very tough to boil it to soft.  Yes, it is little tricky.  Today I am writing about how to boil it. Here below it is:
Ingredients
lotus stem
water
Process:
First Method
1.  Peel the lotus stem with peeler or knife.  Now cut its both ends.
2. Now wash it thoroughly with water.  Pour the water through its holes to wash all the dirt.
3.  Next take two cups of water and bhiss in a pressure cooker.  Here I have a very small bhiss.  Take as much as you want to boil.

4. Keep the pressure cooker on flame.  When the first whistle comes, lower the heat at the lowest and cook it for 15 minutes.
5.  Now let the pressure of the cooker  cool completely and open the lid and take out the bhiss in a plate.
6.  Use it in making sabzi etc by slicing or grating it.
Second Method
1. Peel the lotus stem and cut into thin slices.
2. Take the thin sliced lotus stem with one glass of water in a pressure cooker, close the lid and keep it on heat.
3. When fist whistle comes, lower the heat to the lowest and cook it for 10 minutes.  Remove the pressure cooker from heat and let it cool itselt. Next open the lid and transfer the boiled lotus stem into a bowl.  It can be used  in making its sabzi with potato. 
Tip
1.While boiling bhiss, never put anything except water and bhiss. Sometimes, we add salt and oil  in order to get better results while boiling. If we do it, it will never get soft. This is the only tip which we should keep in mind.
2. While buying bhiss, be ensure that its hole should not be filled with dirt.
3.  Before boiling it, pour enough water through its holes in order to get it cleaned. 
4. Never put potato with bhiss while preboiling, otherwise bhiss will not soft.
Enjoy Healthy Cooking!!!
