My kids call this “Indian Popcorn” 🙂 Makhana or Fox Nuts are the seeds of water lily, and are very nutritious.

For today’s after school and work snack, I pan roasted the Makhana Seeds with a spoonful of Ghee along with other Nuts. Along with Fresh Orange Juice, it was yummy!!

Sometimes I add dried fruits as well. Here is the other version.

What you’ll need:

• Homemade Ghee – 1 spoonful
• Raw Almonds – 1 cup
• Raw Pecans – 1 cup
• Peanuts – 1 cup
• Coconut Pieces – 1/2 cup
• Curry Leaves – a handful
• Turmeric Powder – 1 tsp
• Chili Powder – 1 tsp
• Salt to taste
• Makhana Seeds – about 4 cups

Method:

1. In a large pan, add the Ghee, Nuts, Coconut, Curry Leaves, Turmeric, Chili Powder and Salt.

2. Roast on medium heat for a couple of minutes.

3. Add the Makhana Seeds and continue to roast for another 5 to 10 minutes on medium (Until well roasted). Switch off heat. 

Enjoy!!

My kids opted for a couple of Oreo cookies along with it 🙂

And we had some Fresh Orange Juice!!
