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.
