Makhanas are also known as fox nuts.
These are often used in few Indian sweets and snacks like kheer, raita or curries and are also eaten as an evening tea-time snack. Makhanas are light, crunchy and highly nutritious. I have roasted these makhanas in ghee and served with black salt and freshly crushed pepper sprinkled over it.

1

Heat 1/2 tbsp of ghee in a pan. Add makhanas into it and roast continuously for 3 minutes.

Now sprinkle salt, pepper powder, black salt and pour 1/2 tbsp ghee on makhanas so that spices get coated well with makhanas. Roast for 2 more minutes and take out in a plate. Let it cool down, then only it will become crunchy and then serve.
