CRISPY FOXNUT AND PINE NUT CHAAT

Foxnut is also referred as Makhana or puffed lotus seeds. It is a good source of protein, fiber, and micronutrients (calcium, magnesium, iron, and phosphorus). Supports weight loss, blood sugar management, and heart health.

Also rich in antioxidants and anti-aging properties. 

Makhana is quite versatile and easy to enjoy in many different recipes. Sometimes roasted and enjoyed as a savory snack or added to curries, or desserts. 

Here, I have shared an interesting, quick, and nutritious Chaat recipe using Foxnut as the main ingredient.

Ingredients

  • 1 to 2 cups Dry Roasted Foxnuts Or Makhana 
  • 1 to 2 Persian Cucumber(s) (finely chopped)
  • 1 medium Red Onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 medium Tomato (finely chopped)
  • 1 medium Green Chili (finely chopped)
  • 1 to 2 tbsps Fresh Coriander (finely chopped)
  • 1 medium Lime or Lemon Juice
  • 1/4 tsp. Red Chili Powder
  • 1/4 tsp. Roasted Cumin Powder
  • 1/4 tsp. Black Pepper Powder 
  • Salt
CRISPY FOXNUT AND PINE NUT CHAAT

Finely chopped veggies ready to create an interesting Foxnut Chaat.

Add onions, cucumber, and tomato to it.

Dry roasted Foxnuts (microwaved for about 5 minutes)

Add onions, cucumber, and tomato to it.

In a mixing bowl take a handful of crispy Foxnuts.

Add the spices as per your preference.

Combine well and serve immediately. Lemon juice as per our preference.

Notes: As foxnuts are so very favorite to me, I always try to create new recipes with it. This one is kind of a salad with chutney. We can use any sweet, savory, or sweet and sour chutney with it. Make sure to assemble it only right before serving. May add pomegranate arils for a festive touch.

Avocado

The fruit of avocado is basically a large berry containing a single large seed.

It is quite a unique fruit with powerful health benefits. While most fruit consists primarily of carbohydrate, avocado is high in healthy fats.

These days, it has become an incredibly popular food among health-conscious individuals. It’s often referred to as a superfood.

There are many types of avocado that vary in shape and color from pear-shaped to round and green to black. They can also weigh anywhere from 8 ounces (220 grams) to 3 pounds (1.4 kg).

The most popular variety is the Hass avocado. It’s often called alligator pear, which is very descriptive, as it tends to be pear-shaped and has green, bumpy skin like an alligator. The yellow-green flesh inside the fruit is eaten, but the skin and seed are discarded.
