Water chestnut or singhara chutney or dip.
A delicious tangy chutney. First time tried with singhara or water chestnut and very happy with the taste. Its a hit in my family.
Water chestnut is full of vitamins and minerals. Not only that, nutrients rich water chestnut is cholesterol free.
When looking for cholesterol-free and fat-free foods to add to your meal plans, water chestnuts fill the bill. You can lower your risk for heart disease and stroke by maintaining your blood cholesterol level, and adding water chestnuts to your meals can help you do this. Water chestnuts’ zero fat content may help you prevent weight gain when adding them to your diet.
