To make lotus stem chips, you need 2 lotus stems, oil for frying, salt to taste, 1/2 tsp red chilli powder, 1/2 tsp black pepper powder, 1/2 tsp chaat masala, and 1/2 tsp dry mango powder (amchur).
First wash the lotus stem thoroughly, lightly peel the outer skin, and cut off both ends. Then slice it into very thin round pieces using a knife or chips cutter, wash away trapped dirt with clean water, and dry the pieces thoroughly on a cotton cloth or kitchen towel.
Heat oil in a pan and fry the dried lotus stem slices in small batches. Start with high flame initially and then continue on medium flame until golden and crispy, avoiding overcrowding the pan.
