It is a wonderful choice when you are bored of usual vegetable or <i>Boondi<\/i>&nbsp;raita. It is a tasty accompaniment to your lunch and dinner. \u201cMakhane\u201d (as known in hindi) is also known by the names Lotus seeds, Fox nuts, Gorgon nuts or Eurayle ferox . It is a rich source of protein, carbohydrates, fibre, antioxidants, potassium and calcium. The lotus seeds can be eaten raw as well. As we all are already aware of the health benefits of curd, its combination with Fox nuts not only makes it tastier but healthier also.<\/p>\n<p>More Makhaana recipes you might like :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kuchpakrahahai.in\/makhana-kheer-foxnut-pudding\/\">Makhana Kheer<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kuchpakrahahai.in\/makhana-kaju-matar-curry\/\">Makhana Kaju Curry&nbsp;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kuchpakrahahai.in\/caramelised-fox-nuts-meethe-makhane\/\">Caramelied Makhana<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kuchpakrahahai.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/DSC_7752.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"422\" border=\"0\"><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">List of Ingredients:<\/h3>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li>Curd-2 cups<\/li>\n<li>Lotus seeds-1 cup<\/li>\n<li>Ghee\/Cooking Oil-1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Salt \u2013 1\/2 tsp (or to taste)<\/li>\n<li>Black Salt-1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Red Chilli Powder \u2013 1\/2 tsp (optional)<\/li>\n<li>Roasted Cumin Powder-1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Sugar-1 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Roasted Cumin seeds- 1\/2 tsp (For garnishing)<\/li>\n<li>Green Chilly-1 (For Garnishing)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Steps To Prepare:<\/h3>\n<p><b><u>Step1:<\/u><\/b><br \/>\nWhisk the curd so that no lumps are left in it and it attains a smooth texture.
