How love for Bihar’s staple makhana helped build an all-woman enterprise in a small hamlet in interior Karnataka
Raksha Shenoy remembers her first attempt at preparing
makhana or lotus seeds, after reading about its nutritional value. This was about five or six years ago when this superfood had just begun to appear on supermarket shelves in South India.
“I had heard about
makhana being eaten during days of fast in North India, and that it was good for health. I looked up a few tips and recipes online and prepared a snack. It took a couple of attempts to get the hang of roasting it,” laughs Bengaluru-based Raksha.
