Simple tangy healthy snack

This is one of the simple, crunchy snacks when we want to eat. Tangy healthy lotus seed snack is our favourite evening snack. I like to make it often as it requires less time to prepare.

This is our family’s’ movie time snack which replaces the popcorn. And this works as a make-ahead recipe to store. I posted one simple masala lotus seed in my previous post. This one has some sweetness and tanginess.

Things needed for lotus seed snack

Lotus seed

These edible kernels of the lotus plant have extremely high nutrient content makes them an extremely healthy snacking option. These lotus seeds are low in cholesterol, saturated fat and sodium. These ideal snack for untimely hunger pangs are also gluten-free, protein-rich and high in carbohydrates.

Masala

This recipe contains Indian masalas. Chat masala, dry mango powder, chilli powder, pepper powder are the main masala ingredients used for the tangy twist.

Brown sugar

This lotus seed snack not only tangy it has sweet blend too. I am using brown sugar for the caramelized sweet-tangy punch.
