Essential Ingredients for Roasted Makhana Dry Fruits Namkeen Recipe

• Ghee – Makhana namkeen tastes best when you prepare it in ghee, but you can replace ghee with oil to make it vegan.
• Makhana – Makhana is also called phool makhana, lotus seeds, or fox nuts. You will get it in any Indian grocery store or online.
• Nuts – I have added almonds and cashew nuts, but you can also add other dried nuts of your choice, like walnuts or pistachios.
• Dried fruits: I have added raisins, but you can also add cranberries, etc. to it.
• Others – You will also need salt, chilli flakes, curry leaves, and chopped green chilli.
• You can add a little black pepper powder, or red chilli powder and chat masala for a spicy kick.

Tips for Roasted Makhana Dry Fruits Namkeen Recipe

Roast the makhana slowly on a low flame to ensure they become crispy. Keep stirring for even roasting.

Always let the roasted makhana and dry fruits cool completely before storing in an airtight container to maintain crunchiness.

Use fresh and good-quality ingridents like almonds, cashews, and raisins to enhance flavour and texture.

Add salt and spices only after roasting to avoid burning and to retain their aroma.

Adjust the amount of chilli powder, black pepper, or chaat masala on your taste preference.

Avoid Moisture: Keep the namkeen away from humidity or moisture to prevent it from becoming soggy.

Experiment with Nuts & Seeds: Try adding pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, or walnuts for a unique twist.

Make Small Batches: Make small batches to keep the snack fresh and avoid wastage.
