The beautiful lotus flower is the national flower of India and is called kumul in Hindi. Many parts of the lotus plant are edible, including the tuber roots. The roots are not often sold in the market, but we found some and decided to experiment. We fried them with some garlic, salt, and powdered ginger. They were crunchy like celery even after cooking. Though they didn't have much flavor on their own, the spices made them a delicious and addictive snack!
