Heera Phool Makhana are popped lotus seeds, also called fox nuts, from the Euryale ferox water plant. Each seed is roasted until the hard shell cracks and the inside puffs into a light, white ball with a few brown flecks. Makhana is one of the classic Navratri fasting foods because it is not a grain, and it is just as good as an everyday crunchy snack. The 100g bag holds a generous volume.
How to use it
For a vrat snack, warm a tablespoon of ghee in a wide pan, add 50g of makhana and roast on a low heat, stirring, for eight to ten minutes until they crunch when pressed. Season with rock salt, black pepper and a pinch of cumin powder. For makhana kheer, roast them the same way, crush half, and simmer everything in a litre of milk with sugar and cardamom until creamy. Outside the fast, they go into makhana matar curry.
