The only catch is anything with Makhana is usually heavy.

WOW!<BR/><BR/>Did you find Lera's recipe when you were looking? I used that one the only time I made a dish with these -- and you are so right -- they have a popcorn aroma when heated! I did not deep fry -- I think they taste just as good dry roasted even, if they'll be drenched in your yummy sauce :)Lindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17855598397706857424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34998002.post-85326223771634087992008-06-21T19:01:00.000+01:002008-06-21T19:01:00.000+01:00I was thinking the same thing today.
