Aloe vera ki sabzi -A very healthy and nutritious stir fry made with Aloe Vera 

 Aloe Vera is also known as – Gwarpatha, Kwar gandal and Ghrit Kumari. The Aloe Vera plant has many cosmetic and medicinal properties.

It is full of antibiotics which will fight off infections. It cures ulcers,prevents constipation, cures bacterial infections inside the stomach,reduces cholesterol, regulates blood sugar, soothes joint inflammation especially arthritis related swelling and much more.

I had always heard of Aloe Vera being had in the form of a juice, or the gel being used as an ointment, so I tried making a aloe vera ki sabzi out of it, and I must say I was very surprised on how good the results turned out to be!

There are many types of aloe vera’s available, But all are not edible ,some are bitter in taste so not advisable to consume,sweet variety of aloe vera is dark and bright in color and have less thorns and have shiny transparent jel inside .

Use the sweet variety of aloe vera to make this aloe vera ki sAbzi /curry(do taste aloe before making)

Do try these aloe vera recipes-

  • Aloe vera ke Namakpare
  • Digestive Aloe Vera Ki Ajwain

aloe vera sabzi

Take few thick fresh leaves of aloe vera and wash them well.
 Now trim the sides and chop them in medium size pieces.
Boil them in enough water and then drain

    I tried making this recipe. Turned out horrid in taste. Maybe not used to the new taste of the vegetable itself.

      Hi Zarine-all aloe veras are not suitable for eating as some are bitter in taste so do check and taste the raw aloe vera before cooking,edible aloevera taste blend and absorb the spice flavours.

        All bitter vegetables are good for health. Cleanse the blood. Karela is too bitter but health wise is wonderful

    It has been used as vegetable for long. The bitter Aloe Vera was put in to ash and kept for few hour and then washed. Then it was cooked as recipe.

    Nice recipe. I use Aloe vera a lot but mostly in raw form. In my fruit smoothies or as a juice. Even the raw gel eaten as it is. Never cooked it and I am not sure if throwing away the cooking stock would be a good idea.
