Makhana or lotus seeds are very nutritious, high in protein and minerals. Generally we have them as snack just by roasting . I am sharing here a very healthy and tasty snack recipe with makhana which I made them in appam pan to make them even healthier. Have them in a rainy day with some fiery chilli sauce.They are superb.
