Makhana is also known as phool makhana, lotus seeds, fox nuts, foxnuts, or gorgon nut. It has got a very distinct and delicious taste. The simplest ways to make makhana is by roasting them in very little ghee or just microwave them. Let them become crunchy and we have a super, power packed snack along with our tea/coffee. It is a very popular fasting food. There are many health benefits of makhana. It is high in fiber and low in calories hence a super food for those who want to reduce weight. There are many recipes which can be made from makhana and today I will be showing you how to make halwa from makhana. It tastes delicious, requires less ghee, and of course is very healthy. The only care, while making this halwa, we need to take is that when we add water to the roasted flour, the flour being very delicate and light, the flour splutters and makes the stove dirty. Do try this tasty recipe and share your feedback!
