Beeh Sawa Basar| Lotus stem And Spring Onions Curry

Beeh Sawa Basar (Lotus stem and Spring onions curry) There is a dish in Sindhi cuisine named Sawa basar patata i.e Spring onions and Potatoes Curry and though it is loved by many, I somehow find the texture and flavour of the curry to be very unappetising. A similar dish is cooked using Beeh (Lotus stem) and Spring onions. When cooked in a pressure cooker, the peculiar over-powering flavours of spring onion greens and slightly slimy, mushy texture is not something that I like and hence I seldom made that curry. Later, I learnt many variations of the recipe from the people I interacted with and I did find some better ways to cook with Spring onions. I intend to share the varying recipes on the blog. For now let me share this stir fried Beeh Sawa Basar (Kamal Kakdi aur hare pyaz ki subzi) or the Lotus stem and Spring Onion Curry that gets done in a jiffy, provided you have a stock of pre boiled lotus stems.

When I started sharing some Sindhi Thali spreads on Instagram (Sindhirasoiofficial) and Facebook page (Sindhirasoi.com), I started receiving many requests to share the recipes of each dish presented in the Thali. So I thought to share the details of all the Thali meals in a blog post for easy reference! Most of these meals were cooked across the year, though some are from the distant past. I haven’t meticulously planned the menus of these Thalis and the dishes were cooked depending on the seasons and availability of the ingredients during the lockdown, in the past year or so.
