Cactus Subzi केक्टस की सब्ज़ी | नागफनी Nagfani | How to Cut Cactus | Kunal Kapur Uttarakhand Recipes
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.

I'm American but my family is from Mexico. As a child I didn't like the taste. I started to eat Prickly pear (cactus) about 2 yrs ago in my adult yrs and I REALLY love them now. I am very pleased to see how other cultures prepare and eat them and I look forward to following your recipe!

Brother,,,, you're love of cooking shows you're love of nature around you ☺ earth 🌍 love's you,, ☺
First time I am seeing someone from India cookining cactus pads. This is a commons native south american food but it also grows in other deserts as in Taif, Saudi Arabia etc. I always thought it had a strange taste but I would sure like to try this some day. I was curious about how people in the east (e.g India) would prepare this if any. It seems like you had to make sure the liquids were cooked out of it. Looks delicious. Also, why does everyone think it's poison when the prickly pears actually grow right out of the pads? Thanks for sharing.
Immensely thankful for introducing this plant as vegitable and cooking method. Jazak Allah!

This vegetable has been eaten for thousands of years in Mexico. Nopal is grown in eighteen of the Mexican states with 74% in the Distrito Federal, with an annual yield of 58,000 tons[which?] of both the tuna and the pads.[7] The farming of nopal provides many subsistence communities with employment, food, income, and allows them to remain on their land.

Bohot bohot shukriya broder thank you .. İstanbul turkey..
It looks really good! I'll be trying out different recipes in an instant pot!
Fantastic!! Although I am not sure about it's taste, the recipe sounds so delicious and delightful. I guess I could include them in the south Indian recipes like "Pulusu" and also in making Salad or stir fried veggies. Well, thanks a ton for the recipe as well as for the demo on how to clean the cactus. Well, I am sharing this video on my whatsApp status right away so that many of my friends could just not only try this recipe but also get educated about this healthy vegetable.

Omg tussi great ho....really love ur style of cooking
Its very healthy plant, alot of fiber and helps lower bad cholesterol. People compare to green peppers or Lima beans, tangy, lemony, a little bitter. Some people dont like the slime in which I suggest you cut them into little cubes and boil them for 20-30 minutes and then rinse them most of the slime will be gone.
