Ingredients

  • 1 Packet Makhana (approximately 7 to 8 cups)
  • 2 tsp Ghee or Olive oil or vegan
  • 2 tsp Chaat Masala
  • ¾ tsp Tava Fry Masala*
  • ½ tsp Black pepper powder
  • ½ tsp Salt or per taste
  • ¼ tsp Turmeric (optional)

Instructions

  • Heat 1tsp ghee/oil on low to medium heat
  • Roast the Makhana for 8 minutes stirring often so they do not burn (will be crunchy)
  • Take out of pan and set aside
  • Heat 1tsp ghee/oil on low heat and add the spices, stir for 10 seconds. (make sure the spices do not burn)
  • If you like a little color to them, then add the turmeric. I like them more white so do not add turmeric.
  • Add the Makhana back to the pan
  • Toss well for 2 mins making sure they are coated well with the spices
  • Cool and enjoy

Notes

*If you do not have the Tava Fry Masala, add 1/2 tsp of Corriander powder and 1/4 tsp of red chili powder.
