Notes
- It is important to pay attention to the cook time as nuts can burn very easily. Each air fryer is different, and the exact time of roasting may differ slightly depending on the one you have. I would recommend checking every minute or so after first roasting the nuts and makhana for 3 minutes.
- If roasting on the stovetop, never do it on high heat as that can burn the makhana and cook things unevenly. Makhana roasts best on low heat for those perfect crunchy and crispy results.
- If you’re making a bigger batch, I would recommend roasting it in batches. Overcrowding the pan can make the makhana chewy instead of crunchy.
- If you’re vegan, you can easily replace the ghee with coconut, olive or mustard oil, depending on what you prefer. You can even use any vegetable oil instead.
