Makhana, also known as fox nuts or lotus seeds, is a popular and healthy snack in Indian cuisine. Here's a simple recipe to make Masala Potli Seasoned Makhana:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups makhana (Fox Nuts)
- 2 tablespoons ghee or oil
- Pick any Masala Potli Makhana Seasoning (adjust to taste)
- Salt, to taste
- Optional: Roasted Nuts, Dried Fruits, or Seeds for added crunch and flavor
Instructions:
- Dry Roasting Makhana:
- Heat a heavy-bottomed pan or skillet over medium heat.
- Add the makhana to the pan and dry roast them for about 5-7 minutes, stirring continuously, until they become crisp. You'll notice the makhana will start to puff up slightly.
- Once roasted, transfer the makhana to a plate and let them cool.
- Seasoning:
- In the same pan, heat ghee or oil over medium heat.
- Add the roasted makhana back to the pan.
- Sprinkle Masala Potli Seasoning over the makhana, adjusting the amount according to your taste preferences.

- If you're adding any optional roasted nuts, dried fruits, or seeds, you can add them at this stage and toss everything together.
- Final Touch:
- Continue cooking the seasoned makhana for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, to allow the flavors to meld and the seasoning to infuse into the makhana.
- Once done, turn off the heat and let the seasoned makhana cool completely.
- Serve or Store:
- Once cooled, transfer the seasoned makhana to an airtight container for storage.
- Enjoy them as a crunchy and flavorful snack anytime!
