The main ingredient is lotus stem (nadru), harvested from Kashmir's lakes.
Strips of lotus stem dipped in a spiced rice-flour or gram-flour batter and fried until crisp, eaten hot with chutney from carts around Hazratbal shrine and Srinagar's markets.
Why it's made this way: Lotus stem is central to Kashmiri cooking, and these fritters are a staple snack of Srinagar's markets.
