METHOD
- In a pan, heat oil and roast the phool makhana in medium flame for 4-5 minutes.Make sure you don’t burn them.To check whether it is roasted well,take one in your finger and try to crush it or gobble a few. If it crushes well,it is roasted well.If u feel it is soggy to press,u have to roast more.Similarly if u eat,it should be crunchy else roast for few more minutes.
- After it is roasted well,make a gap in the center of the kadai and add 2 tsp of ghee to it. To this ghee,add red chilli powder,turmeric powder,salt and chaat masala or garam masala powder.Add few curry leaves.Keep the flame medium else spice powders would burn.
- Mix the powders well with roasted makhana.Coat it well.Switch off the flame and let it cool in the kadai for 3-4 minutes.Now serve them in a bowl with hot tea.Tastes yummy and crunchy !
. NOTE You can replace chaat masala powder with garam masala powder.You can also add a pinch of aamchur powder for tangy taste. Adding curry leaves is optional. Ghee gives a nice flavor.So don’t skip it.You can add some crushed garlic cloves along with spice powders to get a nice garlic flavor.
