Roasted phool makhane

Lotus seeds or Phool Makhana or fox nuts is a new ingredient to me. I never know that it is used in North India in different dishes like kheers, subzi, etc... The recipe,  Roasted Lotus seeds / Roasted phool makhana / Roasted foxnuts is a very simple and guilt free snack using the puffed lotus seeds. Since this is the first time, using this lotus seeds, I choose the easy and simple recipe. This is very healthy snack and you can replace your popcorn with these seeds.


These seeds contains more protein, calcium, iron, phosphorous and zinc and are eaten during the fasting in North India. After tasting this recipe, I have decided to buy these, in regular basis. You can store these roasted makhanas in air tight container and have it anytime you want. Now to the recipe...
