ST Makhana Signature Spiced Coconut Crunch

A wholesome fusion of roasted fox nuts, aromatic spices, and tropical coconut – perfect for a guilt-free snack.

Ingredients:

1. 2 cups ST Makhana (any variety)
2. 1 tbsp cold-pressed coconut oil
3. 2 tbsp dry grated coconut
4. 1 tsp curry leaves (dried or fresh)
5. ½ tsp mustard seeds
6. ½ tsp fennel seeds
7. ¼ tsp turmeric powder
8. ½ tsp Himalayan pink salt (or to taste)
9. A pinch of asafoetida (hing)
10. 1 tsp jaggery powder (optional – for a sweet-spicy twist)

Instructions:

1. Dry roast the Makhana on low heat in a heavy pan for 6-8 minutes, stirring continuously until they turn crisp. Set aside.
2. In the same pan, heat coconut oil and add mustard seeds, fennel seeds, and curry leaves. Let them splutter and release aroma.
3. Add turmeric, asafoetida, and grated coconut. Roast until the coconut turns golden brown.
4. Lower the flame and toss in the roasted Makhana. Sprinkle salt and jaggery powder (if using) for a sweet-savory balance.
5. Mix well to coat all the Makhana evenly with the spice blend.
6. Let it cool completely before storing in an airtight jar.
