This roasted phool makhana recipe is a perfect snack, especially those who are fasting for Navratri vrat, as it has high nutritional values. It is also called as 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 taste 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)
