Ingredients

• 1.0 piece Green Chilli
• 1.0 tbsp Coriander Leaves
• 1.0 cup Curd
• 1.0 tsp Ghee
• 0.5 cup Fox Nuts
• 0.25 tsp Sugar
• 1.0 pinch Black Salt
• 0.25 tsp Chaat Masala
• 0.5 tsp Cumin Powder

Cooking Steps

1. Heat ghee in a Kadai, add 1 cup of Makhana, and dry roast them on very low heat for 4-5 minutes until they are crisp. Keep stirring them in between so that Makhana doesn't burn.
2. To check if they are correctly roasted, take one Makhana in hand and crush it. If it breaks nicely with a crunching sound, that means they are perfectly roasted.
3. Now transfer makhanas to a plate and let them cool.
4. Whisk curd in a mixing bowl until smooth. Then add the roasted makhana’s, roasted cumin powder, chaat masala, green chilies, coriander leaves, salt, sugar, and mix well.
5. Rest this phool makhana raita recipe for 10 minutes and serve the Makhane ka raita with jeera rice, or pulao.
