Heera Phool Makhana is best known as the star of makhana kheer, the creamy Indian dessert where puffed lotus seeds simmer gently in milk. This pack contains dried phool makhana, also called fox nuts, light and airy seeds with a delicate crunch and a mild, neutral flavour. At home, cooks use phool makhana in more than just kheer. They are roasted with a little ghee and spices for a crisp, savoury snack, or added to makhane ki sabzi, a simple vegetable curry where the seeds soak up the sauce while keeping their bite. Some cooks fold them into raitas or scatter them over dishes for extra texture. Before using, dry roast the seeds in a pan for a few minutes to bring out their crunch and remove any lingering softness. This step also makes them easier to crush if a recipe calls for coarsely ground makhana. Once roasted, they can go straight into kheer, curries or spice mixes. Store the seeds in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to keep them crisp. This 50g pack is a convenient size for trying makhana in a new recipe or keeping a small stock on hand for regular use in kheer and savoury snacks alike.
