What is Phool Makhana?
Phool Makhana, commonly known as Fox Nuts or Puffed Lotus Seeds, are harvested from the Euryale Ferox plant. The seeds are dried and then roasted at high temperatures, causing them to pop and expand into light, airy, popcorn-like puffs. They have a neutral taste, making them perfect for absorbing various flavors.
