With a thin, crispy, even coating of glazed caramel on every piece with some sesame seeds on top, this caramel makhana stays crispy for weeks. But that's not the case in my house as it disappears very fast. Sometimes they get finished even before going to the jar.

Caramelized Makhana with Sesame seeds and Coconut is something which I’ve loved my entire life. They are fine and they look wonderful.
To begin with this particular recipe, we must prepare a few ingredients. You can cook caramelized makhana with sesame seeds and coconut using 5 ingredients and 11 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.
The ingredients needed to make Caramelized Makhana with Sesame seeds and Coconut:
- Prepare 2 cups Makhana or Fox nuts
- Take 3/4 th cup granulated Sugar or grated Jaggery
- Prepare 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
- Prepare 1 tablespoon dessicated coconut
- Prepare 1 tablespoon ghee
Lightly brush the Air fryer basket with a little ghee or coconut oil (for vegans). Add your foxnuts or lotus seeds taking care to only fill the basket to less than half the volume. Over filling will cause the makhana to fly and get stuck in the Air fryer coil and get burnt so be watchful. Crisp, chewy, nutty and caramelized benne wafers (aka sesame seed cookies) are perfect for your holiday or Kwanzaa celebrations.
Steps to make Caramelized Makhana with Sesame seeds and Coconut:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of ghee in a heavy bottomed pan.
- Roast 2 cups makhana or fox nuts in medium low heat until crisp and fragrant.
- Be careful while toasting, don't roast in high heat. It will take 7/8 minutes to make them crisp without burning.
- Transfer to a dish.
- In the same pan add in grated jaggery or sugar. I don't have jaggery so I used 3/4th cup sugar.Start cooking in medium heat with 1/4th cup of water.
- Cook until the sugar melts completely and becomes amber colour. When the colour becomes amber, the sugar rightly caramalize.
- My sugar mixture become amber colour and it is the right time to turn off the flame. Do quickly, otherwise sugar may burn.
- Immediately remove from heat and add in roasted makhana, roasted sesame seeds and dessicated coconut.
- With a spatula stir well so that caramel coats to each and every makhana or fox nuts. Do the process very quickly, otherwise caramel will crystalize without coating all nuts.
- With a kitchen tong spread each makhana on a tray separating each one from other. Otherwise the makhanas will stick together when the mixture cools down and it will be little difficult for you to separate.
- Let them cool down completely. They will be very light and crisp with the flavour of caramel, sesame seeds, coconut and ghee. You can store them in air tight container and enjoy whenever craving for some sweets.

Crisp, chewy, nutty and caramelized benne wafers (aka sesame seed cookies) are perfect for your holiday or Kwanzaa celebrations. For a more traditional type of cookie, leave them plain. If you feel like dressing them up, drizzle them with melted chocolate. Both ways are equally delicious. —April Wright, Whisk It Real Gud Makhana- Makhana or Phool Makhana are called fox nuts or lotus seeds in English.
