This roasted phool makhana is a very simple, quick, healthy and guilt free evening snack recipe which you can do in the next 10 minutes. Phool makhana has amazing health benefits and nutritional values. It helps in cardiac protection, good for digestion, helps to improve appetite and much more. Even though it is bit costlier, we can buy and consume it at least once or twice in a month to enjoy its health benefits. In Bangalore, you can find phool makhana in Nilgiris, Total, D- mart and Metro. Now lets see how to make this quick phool makhani recipe for evening teatime snacks.

Serves: Serves 2

Total time: 10 Minutes

INGREDIENTS
1 cup – 240ml

  • Oil  or ghee- 2 tsp + 1 tbsp
  • Lotus seeds/Phool makhani -2 cups
  • Red chilli powder or sambar powder – 1 tsp
  • Chaat masala – 1/2 tsp
  • Salt – as needed
  • Curry leaves & curshed garlic – few(optional)
  • Black salt- a pinch ( optional)
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 properly. If you feel it is soggy to press, you have to roast more. Similarly if you eat, it should be crunchy else roast for few more minutes. 
  • After it is roasted well, transfer to a plate. Heat 1 tbsp oil or ghee in the same kadai. Lower the flame completely. Add red chilli powder,  salt and chaat masala or garam masala powder. Keep the flame low else spice powders would burn.
  • Add the roasted makhana and coat the masala well in low flame.. 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 or garlic 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.


Easy, healthy roasted masala phool makhana is ready to munch with hot tea !

    I want to know how eating makhana will affect on the health. Also, can you suggest some other diet habits which doesn’t have any side effect.
