Gud Wale Makhana | Sweet Jaggery Makhana
Ingredients
* 2 cups makhana (fox nuts or lotus seeds)
* 2 teaspoons ghee, divided
* 1/2 cup jaggery
* A pinch of black salt
* 1/2 teaspoon black pepper powder
* 1/2 teaspoon dry ginger powder
* 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
* 1 tablespoon fennel seeds (saunf), optional
Instructions
1. Heat 1 teaspoon of ghee in a pan. Add the makhana and roast on a low flame until they become crunchy. Make sure they are very crunchy, otherwise they may stick to your teeth. Remove the roasted makhana onto a plate and keep aside.
2. In the same pan, add 1 teaspoon of ghee. Add the jaggery and let it melt on a low flame. Stir occasionally.
3. After about 2 minutes, check the consistency of the jaggery. Take a small bowl of cold water and drop a little melted jaggery into it. The jaggery should form a firm ball that breaks easily when pressed. Alternatively, drop a little jaggery onto a steel plate. If it makes a hard sound, the jaggery is ready.
4. Once the jaggery reaches the right consistency, keep the flame low. Add a pinch of black salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper powder, and 1/2 teaspoon dry ginger powder. Mix well.
5. Add 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds and 1 tablespoon of fennel seeds (optional). Mix everything well.
6. Add the roasted makhana to the jaggery mixture. Switch off the flame and mix thoroughly until every makhana is evenly coated with the jaggery mixture.
7. Transfer the makhana onto a plate while still warm. Separate each makhana carefully so they do not stick together.
8. Allow them to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
