Directions

Description - Step 1

Roast the Makhana

Heat a heavy-bottomed pan or kadhai on low flame. Add the makhana and roast, stirring frequently, until they turn crisp and light golden. This should take 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and let the makhana cool completely. Alternatively, you can also use a airfryer to roast makhana. Set the temperature at 180°C and air fry the makhana for 5-7 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even roasting.
