Tips
Choose fresh, firm water chestnuts for the best taste and texture.
Steamed water chestnuts can also be used in salads or stir-fries for added crunch.
Avoid over-steaming, as this can make them mushy.
Pair with a pinch of black salt or chat masala for extra flavor.
Directions
Measure 200 g of fresh water chestnuts.
Rinse them thoroughly under running water to remove dirt and impurities.
Add 500 mL of water to a kadhai (deep pan).
Place a strainer or steaming basket on the kadhai. Ensure the water level doesn’t touch the strainer.
Place the cleaned water chestnuts on the strainer.
Cover the kadhai with a lid.
Steam for approximately 15 minutes until the chestnuts soften slightly but retain their crunch.
Let the steamed water chestnuts cool for a few minutes.
Peel off the outer skin and enjoy them as a healthy snack.
