Cactus is a Latin word that means a spiny plant. It is called #nagfani in Hindi, #Nagfana in Bengali & Marathi, #Nagamalli in Telugu, and #Chaptukalli in Tamil. Though eating cactus is very popular in #Mexico but in India, we have been using the cactus plant & fruit for various treatments. Also, many farmers in India grow them around their fields to naturally protect the crops. Cooking cactus is like cooking Bhindi, quite easy & surprisingly very tasty. All you need to know is how to cut a cactus. A lot of varieties of cactus that grow are quite beneficial for us in many ways. I am cooking a variety of #Cactus called #Nopal or #Nopales which has a pad-like shape. The same variety also bears a fruit called #PricklyPear which comes with a lot of health benefits. Both the Nopal Cactus & its fruit (prickly pear) are riddled with lots of thorns but carefully removing them gives us a cactus we can eat. Cactus is long known for its many health benefits like high on antioxidants, regulates blood sugar, reduces cholesterol, eliminates hangovers & high on vitamins, minerals & fibre. Eating cactus fruit - Prickly Pear prevents peelia i.e. jaundice. It is specifically high in calcium, potassium, vitamin A, C & B, Iron & Magnesium. Currently, there are no know cactus species that are poisonous but getting stung by a cactus thorn/spike causes irritation, pain and ay lead to bacterial infections. ------------------------------------------- Ingredients Ghee – 2 tbsp Asafoetida(heeng) – ¼ tsp Dry red chillies – 2 no Cumin – ½ tsp Fennel seeds (saunf) – 1/ tsp Garlic chopped – tsp Cactus (Nopales variety, cleaned & cut into strips) – 3cups Salt – to taste Chilli powder – 1tsp turmeric – ½ tsp Coriander powder – 2 tsp Dry mango pwd(amchur) – 2-3tsp Onion chunks – 1 cup For written Recipe - https://www.chefkunalkapur.com/cactus-subzi/ ---------------------------------------------- ➡️ Check out other Popular Recipes: 📌 Moringa paratha - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6ccvszLMpU 📌 Dal Makhni- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3k55z-tv9I 📌 Indian Dal Fry 5 Types - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WKNCsy5q58 📌 Watermelon ki Sabji Recipe- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAfBwIx7uT4&t=67s --------------------------------------------- Hi, I am Chef Kunal Kapur and this is my space, my channel.
