What is this recipe about?

Ram ladoo is a light and airy appetizer that’s made with moong dal (yellow lentils) and served hot topped with daikon radish. But, since Navratri is around the corner, I have prepared my rendition of Ram ladoo, where I have swapped lentils with foxnuts, potatoes and paneer (Indian cottage cheese). Also, daikon radish was omitted to accommodate for people, who are observing fast.  They follow a simple diet and eat a gluten-free meal once a day. To help you with a vrat meal plan, I have compiled a list of yummy and delicious 40 Navratri Vrat Recipes/ Upvas Recipes.

Ingredients required to make Falahari Paneer Makhane Gulgulle!

Puffed lotus seed or foxnut, also known as Phool Makhane in Hindi: is the key ingredient. They are an excellent source of potassium, calcium, and magnesium. Potato: required to bind the mixture. Paneer: for texture Arrowroot flour or Any vrat flour: binding agent Aromatic spices : for extra heat and flavor Cilantro leaves: adds a nice flavor and color And Cucumber to finish off the dish.

Follow my friend Sonal Gupta’s blog for vrat ka chaat masala.

  1. Start by dry-roasting the raw makhane first. Maintain the heat on a medium-low flame and keep stirring occasionally.
  2. The key is to them nicely toasted and light brown. Therefore, keep a watchful eye and stir occasionally.
  3. Once done, take it off the flame and allow the makhane to cool comfortably. 
  4. Next, combine the powdered makhane with paneer, potatoes, flour, spices, and cilantro. Mix it well. 
  5. Grease your hands. Shape this mixture into evenly sized balls.
  6. Time to cook: These makhane balls can be cooked in an appe pan or deep- fried until crispy and golden in color.
  7. Enjoy them as is with vrat ki chutney or proceed to the next step – make gulgulle. But, since it’s a vrat recipe, I have topped gulgulle with shredded cucumber and vrat ki chutney. To assemble these gulgulle:

Shred cucumbers. Remove excess water and season with salt. Generously sprinkle shredded cucumbers on paneer-makhane balls. Top with chutney, vrat ka chaat masala and serve immediately.
