π₯£ Ingredients
- 2 cups GT Makhana
- 1 tsp ghee
- Β½ tsp turmeric powder
- Β½ tsp red chilli powder
- Β½ tsp roasted cumin powder
- Β½ tsp chaat masala
- Salt to taste
- A pinch of black pepper
π¨βπ³ Method
- Heat the ghee: Warm 2 tablespoons ghee or oil in a wide pan on low-medium heat for about 01:00 until it shimmers slightly but isn't smoking.
- Roast the makhana: Add 2 cups makhana (fox nuts) to the hot ghee and roast, stirring continuously, for 8 minutes β 08:00 β until the pieces feel light and snap cleanly when pressed between your fingers.
- Turn off the heat: Once crisp, immediately turn off the flame so residual heat doesn't scorch the spices in the next step.
- Add the spices: Sprinkle in 0.5 teaspoons turmeric powder, 0.5 teaspoons red chili powder, 0.5 teaspoons chaat masala, and 0.25 teaspoons salt. Toss everything together for about 01:00 so the spices coat evenly.
- Cool before serving: Spread the makhana out on a plate and let it rest for 2 minutes β 02:00 β it continues to crisp up as it cools.
