Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Makhana (Lotus Seeds)
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Dried Oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon Chili Flakes (optional)
Instructions
Measure out 2 cups of makhana and set aside.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Once the oil is warm, add the makhana to the skillet, ensuring they are spread out in an even layer.
Stir the makhana continuously for about 5-7 minutes until they are light brown and crispy.
In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, dried oregano, and chili flakes (if using).
Sprinkle the spice mix evenly over the roasted makhana, ensuring each piece is coated with the mix.
Continue to roast the makhana for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning and ensuring even roasting.
Once done, remove from the heat and let it cool slightly before serving.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
