Singhada Curry is a dish that immediately brings back memories of winter afternoons when fresh water chestnuts are in season. We usually make this during fasts or as a special treat because the texture of singhada is so satisfyingly crunchy yet soft. The gravy is kept light with minimal spices like cumin and green chilies to let the earthy flavor of the water chestnut really shine. It is a humble, comforting meal that feels like home. My mother always said the secret is in peeling them gently to keep the kernels whole.

Cooking Instructions

Tips & Secrets

  • Always use fresh singhada instead of dried ones for this specific curry to get that juicy and crunchy texture.
  • Adding a spoonful of thick curd at the end of frying the tomatoes makes the gravy richer and slightly tangy.
  • Be careful not to overcook the chestnuts as they can become mushy and lose their distinct character.
