About Masala Makhana

This indian dish is perfect for snack. With 126.22 calories and 1.92g of protein per serving, it's a low-calorie option for your meal plan.

Roast the Makhana

Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pan or kadai over a low-medium flame.
Add the phool makhana and dry roast, stirring continuously for 8-10 minutes.
The makhana are perfectly roasted when they are light and break with a crisp snap when pressed between your fingers.
Once done, transfer the roasted makhana to a large bowl and set aside.

Prepare the Spice Masala

In the same pan, reduce the heat to low. Add the ghee and allow it to melt completely.
Add the turmeric powder, red chili powder, chaat masala, amchur powder (if using), salt, and black pepper.
Stir the spices constantly in the warm ghee for about 30-45 seconds until they become fragrant. Be careful not to burn them.

Coat the Makhana

Immediately add the roasted makhana back into the pan with the spice-infused ghee.
Toss everything together gently but quickly, ensuring all the makhana are evenly coated with the masala.
Continue to stir on low heat for another 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the makhana to reheat.

Cool and Serve

Turn off the heat and spread the masala makhana in a single layer on a large plate or baking sheet to cool completely.
They will become even crispier as they cool down to room temperature.
Serve immediately as a healthy snack or store in an airtight container for later.
