Why it's different

Three things worth knowing

  • 01

    Roasted, never fried

    A dry roast in small batches gives the crunch without the oil load of a fried snack.

  • 02

    Genuinely light

    Puffed lotus seed is mostly air and resistant starch — a large bowl weighs less than you'd expect.

  • 03

    Small-batch roast

    Roasted a few kilos at a time so what you get is fresh, not a shelf-worn catering pack.

About this one

Makhana — fox nuts, or puffed lotus seed — is one of the lightest things in the shop, in every sense. A handful weighs almost nothing, yet it fills you up the way popcorn never quite manages.

We roast ours in small batches with a whisper of desi ghee and rock salt, just enough to give it crunch and carry flavour without turning it into a fried snack. Nothing about it is deep-fried.

It has quietly become the tea-time snack people reach for instead of biscuits — plain in the best sense, and hard to stop eating.

How to use it

  • Straight from the bag as an evening tea-time snack.
  • Toss with a little ghee, black pepper and rock salt for a warm roasted bowl.
  • Crush and scatter over yoghurt or a fruit chaat for crunch.
  • Add whole to a kheer or milk pudding in the last few minutes of cooking.

Keeping it

Airtight jar, cool and dry. 4 months. Re-crisp in a dry pan for a minute if they soften.
