GT Classic Roasted Masala Makhana Recipe

Classic Roasted Masala Makhana:


A timeless Indian favourite, made the GT way!


Crunchy, light and irresistibly flavourful β€”


Classic Roasted Masala Makhana is the perfect Indian snack for every mood. Roasted to perfection and tossed with aromatic Indian spices, this recipe transforms simple makhana into a delicious, guilt-free* snacking experience.


πŸ₯£ Ingredients


πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ Method

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Turn off the heat: Once crisp, immediately turn off the flame so residual heat doesn't scorch the spices in the next step.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
