Instructions
Making roasted makhana recipe
Heat oil in a heavy wok or kadai.
Add the makhana and roast for a good 10 to 12 minutes on low heat, till they become crisp. Keep on stirring in between.
Next, add all the spice powders and rock salt, except chaat masala.
Turn off the heat as you don't want the spice powders to get burnt.
Stir the whole mixture well.
Lastly, sprinkle the chaat masala powder and again mix well.
Serve Roasted Makhana when they become lukewarm or cool at room temperature.
Remember that once they cool down, store in an air-tight container.
Notes
You could easily roast large quantities of makhana and later store them for your everyday snacks.
Make the recipe your own by adding your favorite seasonings and spices. Use only dry spices and herbs.
