Steps

25-30 minutes

1

Stir in ghee and salt as required in the fox nuts or makhana. It is absolutely one's own choice to use them as per one's own liking.
2

Spread on a baking tray. Bake in a preheated oven on 200° for about 25-30 minutes. Keep tossing and turning in between two to three times to ensure that they are roasted well and not burnt.
3

It's very important to do so. And not only that, while roasting it is important to keep a vigilant eye on the oven prior to 5 minutes of the timer that has been set. It is because within just matter of seconds, they get done. And if not kept a check, they will be burnt. So please be careful during the last 5 minutes of baking.
4

Enjoy these salted makhana with your loved ones over a hot cup of chai when it's pouring outside. Enjoy the Season! Stay safe and healthy.

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
