Spicy Caramel Makhana (Jaggery)
Spicy Caramel Makhana (Jaggery)
Caramel making can be very tricky, as it involves baking soda, corn syrup, butter its very unhealthy. So, thought about using jaggery to make the caramel and also replacing the usual popcorn with makhana, to mention a portion of the medical advantages of makhana: It's a decent wellspring of protein, sugars, fibre, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, iron and zinc. High in fibre and low in calories, it empowers weight reduction. It’s better than almonds and walnuts.
