Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Makhana (fox nuts)
- 2 tablespoons Ghee or Coconut Oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Chili Powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried Oregano
Instructions
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Add the ghee or coconut oil to the pan and let it melt.
Once the oil is hot, add the makhana to the pan.
Roast the makhana on a low to medium flame, stirring continuously, for about 5-7 minutes until they become crispy and slightly browned.
In a small bowl, mix salt, black pepper, turmeric powder, chili powder, garlic powder, and dried oregano.
Sprinkle this spice mix over the roasted makhana and toss well to coat evenly.
Continue to roast for another 2-3 minutes to let the spices infuse into the makhana.
Once done, remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain the crispiness.
