Now heat ghee and oil together. Add all the spice powders along with salt to taste and mix them quickly. After that switch off the gas.
Transfer the roasted makhanas to the pan and stir well to coat each makhana with spices.
Serve them or cool them and store in a dry and airtight container for a week or so.
