Instructions
- Gur Makhana is a popular North Indian snack made from lotus seeds, also known as fox nuts or phool makhana, coated with jaggery or gur, which is a type of unrefined cane sugar. It is commonly consumed during festive occasions, as well as during fasting or as a healthy snack. The lotus seeds are first roasted until they become crunchy, and then coated with melted jaggery or gur, which gives them a sweet and caramelized flavor. Gur Makhana is often spiced with cardamom, cinnamon, and other warming spices, which add a delightful aroma and flavor to this traditional Indian treat. It is a popular source of essential nutrients like protein, fiber, and minerals, and is often considered a healthy alternative to regular snacks due to its natural sweetness and crunchy texture.
