This roasted phool makhana recipe is a perfect snack, especially for those who are fasting for Navratri vrat, as it has high nutritional values. It is also called Fox nuts or Lotus seeds, though I have tried this spicy phool makhana recipe numerous times, I didn’t have time to share it in my blog. My daughter Shreya, is a big fan of this snack and she would be always insisting me to share here, and now the time has come. It taste-neutral, until it is tossed up with spice powders and it tastes similar to popcorns…..

Raw lotus seeds are low in saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium, and are a good source of protein, thiamin, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and manganese. (Source: Wiki)

3. Adjust spice powder as per spiciness required for this spicy phool makhana recipe.

4. Addition of garlic and curry leaves adds more flavour, but it is purely optional.
