Normally, we use lotus stem in dry or wet vege. Or in the South India, lotus stem dried is very famous. Lotus stem after scrapping the skin, cut into 1/2 cm thick slices, washed well. Boil water, add salt and turmeric pdr, add lotus stem. Once it is cooked not over-cooked, drain well.
Grind some green chilies, depending on the quantity of the lotus stem, along with hing, lime juice and some salt. mix the ground spice with the boiled lotus stem. Then dry it on a plate, spread well, so that each piece is not sticking to another so that it can dry fast. Keep mixing it up twice in a day while it is drying in the sun. At night, cover with a net, as it is still wet, if you cover with a plate, it will get spoiled, or you can keep it on the dining table to dry at night. Next morning, again mix the lotus stem well and place the plates in the sun. In the beginning, you may have 2-4 plates of cut lotus stem, as they dry completely, it will be just half-plate full. Once completely dry store in a dry container with a tight lid.
You can fry it in hot oil till dark brown, drain well and it is eaten with sambar rice, or kadi/ rasam rice. It was my husband's favourite. I use to make it at home. Hubby would eat it plain itself.
