Flavorful Snack Recipes Inspired by Indian Cuisine

 

Makhan seeds are available at most large supermarkets and provide vital nutrients such as iron, zinc, calcium, protein, and magnesium. Dry roasting these seeds unleashes their unique flavor, and combining them with spices is the best way to enhance this flavor for a delicious and healthy snack. Roasting the seeds will give them an air-puffed effect — making them airy and crunchy, with a light, enjoyable texture — ideal for snacking. This recipe from Cook Like Priya takes around 10 minutes and yields two to three generous servings.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups Makhan (lotus seeds)
• 2 teaspoons oil
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• ⅓ teaspoon turmeric

Directions: In a wide pan heat oil (medium flame) add the makhana/ lotus seeds and dry roast for 4-5 minutes until they turn crisp. Add spices and mix well, then further dry roast for 2 minutes. Serve.
