Ghee Roasted Makhana

Ghee Roasted Makhana

Ghee roasted makhana is a light, crunchy snack of phool makhana (fox nuts) slow-roasted in ghee until impossibly crisp, then tossed with warm spices. Roasting in Anveshan bilona cow ghee instead of oil makes these fox nuts shatteringly light with a buttery finish, while a pinch of Anveshan jaggery powder balances the chaat masala and chilli for a moreish sweet-savoury bite.

How to Make Ghee Roasted Makhana

  1. 1

    Heat 1 tbsp Anveshan ghee in a heavy pan on low-medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add the makhana and roast patiently, stirring continuously, for 8-10 minutes until they turn crisp and snap cleanly when pressed.

  3. 3

    Push the makhana aside, add the remaining Anveshan ghee, and stir in turmeric, red chilli powder, black pepper and salt to bloom the spices.

Tips for the Best Ghee Roasted Makhana

  • Roast on low-medium heat and stir constantly so the makhana crisps evenly without burning.
  • Test for doneness by snapping a fox nut; it should break cleanly when fully roasted.
