    Ingredients

    • 1 heaped cup phool makhana / lotus seeds
    • 1/4 cup jaggery
    • 1 heaped tablespoon sesame seeds
    • 1 heaped tablespoon coconut
    • a pinch cardamom powder

    Instructions

    • Add jaggery to a kadai, add water to it. Boil until jaggery dissolves completely.
    • Strain to remove impurities, Set aside.
    • Heat ghee in the kadai - add makhana. Roast until crisp.
    • Break and check, now its done. Transfer roasted makhana to a plate and set aside.
    • Add jaggery syrup let it boil.
    • Consistency check : Keep a separate plate ready filled with little water. Take a drop of jaggery syrup and put it in water, it should stand firm and not dissolve as shown below. Now try to gather and roll, it should form a soft loose ball, this is the right stage. If you want crisp makhana you can leave it to hard ball. Now add coconut, sesame seeds and cardamom powder to it.
    • Add roasted makhana to it. Toss well and switch off.
    • Let it cool down then serve. Enjoy Gur Makhana!

    Notes

    • If you want crisp makhana you can check for hard ball consistency, add makhana at that stage. If you add it in soft loose ball consistency then it will be crunchy which is what I did as I wanted it that way.
    • You can even add a pinch of dry ginger powder if you like the flavour.
