Makhana Raita

Difficulty
Easy
Time required

A very yummy, simple and healthy dish made from puffed lotus seeds or foxnuts which we also call makhana, curd and Indian spices. With the creamy texture, this recipe makes a perfect side snack for your meals, although always remember to have calorie dense food first, and things like buttermilk, water, lassi and raita later so you don’t feel full before eating properly!
