sweet Makhana is a sweet version of Roasted makhana coated with jaggery and shredded coconut.which is protein rich and an healthy snack for kids and those who are in diet.
Makhanaa is also known as phool makhana /Fox nuts /Lotus seeds..Its been widely used but I have never used it before but have seen in many stores and dont know how it tasted until I tasted recently… Recently we came across this Makhana in different flavours in choitram when my husband was searching for some snacky food when he was in keto diet… It was nice and yummy than we expected then I told him will try these in home…. so next time I went to supermarkets I took a packet of plain Makhana. Searched in youtube to see how to make Then I came accross this recepie in youtube channel ‘skinny recipes ‘ …It was totally different and it tempted me a lot to make … It came out really well and yummy and perfect snacking..
Each piece is crunchy and yummy … I have also tried spicy version but it commonly seen in many blog but Jaggery coconut version seems very interesting so thought will share with you all.
