The lotus seed, roasted and crunchy

Makhana is the seed of the lotus flower. It has been grown in India for more than 3,000 years, mainly in the lakes of Bihar, on the banks of the Ganges.

Once roasted, the seed pops open and turns airy and crunchy: a texture the savoury snack aisle does not have yet.
