Materials

  • 3 cups Makhana (Fox Nuts)
  • ½ teaspoon Turmeric Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Red Chilli Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Cumin Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Chaat Masala Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Ghee
  • 2 teaspoon Vegetable Oil
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Heat a pan or wok and dry roast the phool makhanas or foxnuts for 5 to 8 minutes until they turn crunchy and makes crisp sound when you bite them. Low flame should be used to complete the process. Keep the roasted makhanas aside.
  • 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.

Notes

You must complete the process of coating makhanas with spices quickly or otherwise the spices will cover only the makhanas who come into contact with it.
