Sweet makhana

Instructions:

In a pan, roast the makhana on low flame, stirring occasionally. To test if they're done, pop one or two in your mouth; they should be crispy. If not, roast them a bit longer. Set aside.

In another pan, combine the sugar and water. Heat until the sugar dissolves and begins to thicken.

Add the cardamom powder and dry ginger powder. Continue cooking the syrup until it reaches the right consistency. To test, place a few drops of syrup on a small plate of water. The syrup should initially dissolve but eventually form a slightly loose ball that does not dissolve in water.

Add the roasted makhana to the syrup, tossing well to coat.

Switch off the heat and mix thoroughly. Set aside for 10 minutes.

The makhana should now have a white coating.
