Makhana, known by other names like Lotus seeds, Fox nuts or Gorgon nuts, is a good source of fibre, potassium, magnesium and carbohydrates. It is rich in anti-oxidants and can be consumed by people of all age groups. As it is low in calories, it is wonderful munching option for people who are on weight loss journey and crave for chips or snacks. Lotus seeds can be used in both savoury and sweet dishes.<\/p>\n<p>There are two more interesting and easy recipes in the blog using Makhane, do check them out if you are planning to incorporate them in your every day diet-<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kuchpakrahahai.in\/2015\/10\/caramelised-fox-nuts-meethe-makhane\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Meethe Makhane\/Caramelized Fox Nuts<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kuchpakrahahai.in\/2016\/03\/makhane-ka-raita-puffed-lotus-seeds-raita\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Makhane Ka Raita<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I have added Ghee or clarified butter in this namkeen to give it a wonderful aroma and crunch. As it is mentioned in so many articles these days, one should include ghee in everyday diet as it a good fat or saturated fat and very beneficial for digestive tract, immune system and body joints. In case you are still resistant to add ghee in namkeen, you can use olive oil instead of it.<\/p>\n<p>This namkeen can also be made during your fasts or <i>Vrat<\/i>.
