Makhana has replaced popcorn. It is crunchy, tasty, simple to prepare, inexpensive, and healthy. Makhanas are also known as Euryale Ferox, fox nuts, lotus seeds, gorgon nuts, and Phool makhana. These seeds are commonly used in a variety of Indian sweets and savoury dishes such as kheer, raita, and makhana curry, as well as as an evening tea-time snack.
