Ingredients
- 1 cup roasted makhana /foxnut/lotus seed
- 1 teaspoon ghee (or coconut or olive oil)
- 1/4 cup chocolate ((Dark or Milk))
- 1 tablespoon almonds (chopped)
Method
- How to Roast Makhana:- Heat ghee in a pan or kadai and add 1 cup of Makhana and dry roast them on very low heat for 4-5 minutes until they are crisp, keep stirring them in between so that Makhana doesn't burn. To check if they are roasted properly just take one Makhana in hand and crush it, if it breaks nicely with a crunching sound that means they are done perfectly. Now transfer makhanas to a plate and let them cool.
- Take ¼ cup of chocolate (I used Amul brand) cut into small pieces in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Then Microwave till the chocolate melts. Took about 2 minutes for me. Take out of the microwave and stir the melted chocolate and add the roasted makhana's.
- Then mix well until makhanas are coated well with the chocolate. Sprinkle some chopped almonds for the crunch.
- Line a baking tray with butter paper. Transfer the chocolate makhana's to it and let it cool for some time. I didn't have time so I refrigerated for 15 minutes and Chocolate makhanas are ready to serve. Enjoy!
