Recipe 3 - Roasted Makhana

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups makhana
1 tablespoon ghee (clarified butter) or olive oil
Salt to taste
Optional seasonings: chaat masala, black pepper, turmeric, chili powder, or any other spice blend of your choice.

PROCESS

Heat a non-stick pan or skillet over medium heat.
Add ghee or olive oil to the pan and let it melt.
Once the ghee or oil is heated, add the makhana to the pan.
Stir well to coat them evenly with the ghee or oil.
Roast the makhana on medium-low heat for about 8-10 minutes, stirring continuously to prevent them from burning.
The foxnuts should turn crispy and slightly golden brown.
Sprinkle salt over the roasting makhana and mix well.
If desired, you can add any additional seasonings or spice blends at this point and toss them with the Makhana.
This step is optional but adds extra flavor.
Continue roasting for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring the Makhana are evenly coated with the seasonings and have turned crunchy.
Turn off the heat and let the roasted makhana cool down completely.
Once cooled, transfer the roasted makhana to an airtight container or serve immediately as a snack.
Enjoy the Roasted Makhana as a healthy and flavorful snack anytime.
You can store them in an airtight container for up to a week to enjoy at your convenience
