Bhee Aloo (Lotus Stem and Potato Curry)
Crunchy, hollow lotus stems (bhee) cooked with soft cubes of potato in a tangy, spiced tomato-tamarind masala — this Sindhi speciality is one of those dishes that makes you reconsider everything you thought you knew about vegetables. The lotus stem has a satisfying crunch and a mild, almost nutty flavour that soaks up the sour masala beautifully. It looks dramatic on the plate, it tastes even better.
Bhee Aloo Sindhi
Bhee Aloo is Sindh's beloved lotus stem and potato curry — a uniquely textured, deeply flavoured dish that showcases one of Sindhi cuisine's most distinctive ingredients in a warming, aromatic gravy.
