Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Makhana (fox nuts)
- 2 tablespoons Ghee or Olive Oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red Chili Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Chaat Masala
- 10 leaves Curry Leaves
Instructions
Heat ghee or olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Once the ghee is hot, add the curry leaves and sauté them for about 1 minute until they become crispy.
Add the makhana (fox nuts) to the pan and roast them on low-medium heat, stirring continuously, for about 10-12 minutes. This ensures they're perfectly crunchy.
Sprinkle salt, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and chaat masala over the makhana.
Mix well so that the spices evenly coat the makhana. Continue to roast for another 2-3 minutes to deepen the flavor.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Once the makhana is nice and crispy, remove them from the heat and let them cool completely.
Serve immediately or store the roasted makhana in an airtight container for up to a week.
