makhana chivda recipe

Makhna chivda recipe with step by step photos. Quick and easy to make no deep fry chivda recipe with phool makhana. This is a super easy to make relatively guilt free teatime snack for all.

I recently started to use phool makhna and I am already loving it. So handy when you want something to snack on, light on tummy and easy to make too. Phool makhna or lotus seeds is a power house of nutrition. Rich in fiber and they are low on calories too. Phool makhna is widely used in Indian cuisine like roasted makhna, makhna kheer, raita, curry etc. I am yet to try all those. I made this super easy and delicious makhna chivda first. we all love sweet and spicy chivda recipe or mixture recipes at home. I have already shared some easy mixture recipes like oats mixture, sago mixture, potato mixture, corn flakes mixture recipes.

To make makhna chivda I just followed by traditional poha chivda recipe. I have just replaced poha with roasdted makhana. As usual I tried a no deep fry version and it was such a light and non greasy snack. I have nothing against deep frying and I have shared many deep fried snack recipes like bhakarwadi, samosa, aloo bhujia, kara bhoondi, dal mixture, potato chips, banana chips. If there is a chance in any recipe to be tweaked with less oil I just do that and save the deep frying for another recipe 🙂

Makhana chivda keeps well for 7-10 days when stored airtight. Serve this chivda with tea or coffee.
