Ingredients

4

200 grams Makhana - fox nuts

100 grams Jaggery

2 tbsp Ghee

half teaspoon Cardamom powder

Tips

Store the Caramel Makhana Delight in an airtight container to maintain its crispiness.

Adjust the sweetness according to your preference by adding more or less jaggery.

You can customize this recipe by adding your favorite spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for additional flavor.


Directions

Heat a pan over medium heat and dry roast the makhana until they become crisp. Keep stirring to avoid burning. Remove from heat and set aside.

In the same pan, add ghee and grated jaggery. Cook on low heat, stirring continuously until the jaggery melts and forms a smooth sauce.

Once the jaggery is melted, add a pinch of salt and cardamom powder to the caramel sauce. Mix well.

Add the roasted makhana to the caramel sauce. Stir gently to coat each makhana evenly with the caramel sauce.

If desired, add chopped nuts like almonds or cashews to the caramel-coated makhana mixture for extra crunch and flavor.

Allow the caramel-coated makhana to cool completely. The caramel will harden, giving the makhana a crunchy texture.

Once cooled, transfer the Caramel Makhana Delight to an airtight container. Serve as a snack or dessert anytime you crave something sweet yet healthy.

Notes

Avoid this recipe if you are allergic to nuts or have diabetes due to the natural sugars present in jaggery.
