How to Roast Makhana: Heat ghee in a pan or Kadai and add 1 cup of Makhana and dry roast them on very low heat for 4-5 minutes until they are crisp, keep stirring them in between so that Makhana does not burn.
To test if the Makhana is properly roasted, take one in your hand and crush it. If it breaks easily with a crunching sound, it means they are roasted perfectly.
Next, add ghee in the pan, dry moringa (drumstick leaves) powder, chat masala powder, and a pinch of salt, and mix everything well on low flame. Make sure not to burn the spices.
Lastly, add the roasted Phool makhana and roast for another minute along with the spices and turn off the gas.
Cooldown for a while, serve immediately, or be stored in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
