“Singhara (water Chestnuts) Stir fry /Dry” is low in calorie and has very negligible amount of fat which makes it the super food, good to consume when you feel hungry. A crispy delicious and flavourful, teatime snacks or even as light dinner with bowl of “Creamy Tomato Soup” makes it  complete and satisfying. Above all stir fry retain more nutrients than boiled one.

It is important to saute on medium to high flame (cooking on low flame, it might loose its crunch).

Adding peanut in the recipe adds extra crunch and nutrients too.

I am not fascinated about onion and garlic. The dish is onion garlic free and can be served as fasting day as well. If you are onion garlic lover; feel free to add, the taste is still awesome.

Singhara (water Chestnuts) is beneficial for Thyroid as well as increases the sperm count too.
