When I was young, I did not like to eat Lotus Root. However, when you fry the Lotus Roots first when making the curry, it is very tasty and everyone will love to eat it.

If you like this Lotus Root Curry, you will want to try my other traditional vegetable curries such as Long Beans, Thibbatu Curry, and Thalana Batu curries.
