Phool Makhana covered with the layer of curd and flavor of dry fruits makes it healthier also as people need more energy during fast to work. A quick and easy side dish to serve during normal days also. This Sweet Makhana Raita is especially for women who need quick and constant energy to work for the family.
Discussing the recipe in detail: Curd should be fresh ad smooth in texture. Here, I used a little less sugar because dry fruits also contain some amount of sugar. This small and quick dish is packed with lots of nutritional values, the goodness of dry fruits helps you to gain energy for the full day.
Also, the foxnuts give a thick texture and weight to the dish. Coconut here acts as a cooling agent and keeps you hydrated.
