Nadur Polak is an everyday recipe in a Kashmiri home but where lotus root is not available easily it becomes a delicacy. Choose slim, pinkish lotus roots and clean them thoroughly as they are usually muddy. Lotus root is low in saturated fats and cholesterol, high in dietary fibre, Vitamins C and B, potassium and phosphorus.
