Makhana, also known as Fox Nuts or Lotus Seeds is popularly known as a fasting food. Rich in fibre and low in calories, this promotes weight loss. It is a perfect snack for Diabetics. It is a non-cereal grown in stagnant waters of Wetlands, Ponds, Lakes and ditches. They are gluten free, Protien rich and high in Carbohydrates. An overall awesome one to munch on without any guilt or fears. Kids will definitely love them if given sauteed or stir fried with Butter or Ghee.
It's a guilt free indulgence on any given day. You will love this innovative twist. Tangy and flavourful due to the addition of Sumac, it's absolutely a bliss. A perfect treat for the whole family on any day. It's perfect for a healthy Snacking, a wonderful Brunch and an ultimate afterschool quick munchie.

Steps

20-25 minutes

1

Heat ghee or clarified butter in a non stick pan on a low heat.
2

Add fox nuts or makhana and saute well turning them every now and then. Do it on a low flame only. Otherwise they might get burnt leaving a very bitter taste.
3

Add salt according to taste. I have used pink salt just for the enhanced flavour. You can add it according to one's own preferences. It takes almost 20 to 25 minutes to get done. Keep turning every now and then.
4

Also add the middle eastern herb or spice called sumac too. Mix well and cook until done keeping a vigilant eye over it all the while.
5

Serve it piping hot immediately to your folks thoroughly sprinkled with more of sumac herb. Enjoy!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
