If you’re looking for a light and guilt-free snack, roasted makhana is a perfect pick. It’s crunchy, easy to make, and loaded with protein and fiber. Here’s a quick recipe you can try anytime.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups makhana (fox nuts)
- 1 tbsp ghee or olive oil
- ¼ tsp turmeric powder
- ¼ tsp red chilli powder
- Salt to taste
- Optional: Chaat masala or black pepper for extra flavour
Method:
Heat a pan on low flame and add ghee. Once it melts, add the makhanas and roast them for 6–8 minutes, stirring continuously to avoid burning. When they turn slightly crisp, sprinkle turmeric, salt, and red chilli powder. Mix well so that the spices coat evenly. Roast for another minute and turn off the flame. For a tangy twist, sprinkle some chaat masala before serving.
Let them cool and store in an airtight jar. These roasted makhanas stay fresh for days and make a perfect companion for evening tea or a quick office snack.
