Lotus plants grow in standing water. The flower is open on top of this plant.
When this flower dries and scatters, a doda emerges from under it which is called Kanwal Doda or Kal Doda. In the Multani language, this doda is also called "Paban Taki". When the green membrane on the top is removed, green beans are placed inside it in a special order, which when peeled out, white almond-like kernel comes out from inside.
It is a very naturally occurring nutritious gift that the people of Multan used to eat with great relish. As soon as the summer started, "Paban Taki" used to come in the market as a gift.
There was a time when "Coal Dodas" were sold at every vegetable shop in Multan.
