Wooq Organics Premium Fox Nuts, Phool Makhana Plain

Growing up, I remember my mother roasting a bowlful of light-weighted makhanas in ghee, and then sprinkling a pinch of salt and serving us whenever the hunger pangs would kick in. The roasted makhanas made an amazing snack; they were light, crunchy and healthy. Makhanas are also known as fox nuts, Euryale ferox, lotus seeds, gorgon nuts and phool makhana. These seeds are often used in quite a few Indian sweets and savouries like kheer, raita or makhana curry, and are also eaten as an evening tea-time snack. Many people in different regions across the country use these seeds as an offering to the Gods, especially during Navratri.
