Caramelized Fox Nuts ( Meethe Makhane)

Fox nuts or Gorgon nut also known popularly as lotus seeds, makhane, phool patasha, phool, makhane, are a great way to snack guilt free.These nuts can be enjoyed in both savory and sweet form.

Today I am going to share a really quick recipe “Caramelized Fox Nuts”.I tried this time sweet makhane. Fox Nuts are anti-aging food as they are rich source of antioxidants and fiber.The nut is pretty versatile and often used in curries, added to veggies and pilaf, and it is even used to thicken soup.

For the presentation purpose, I tried making sugar-hearts using caramelized sugar.
