Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Stir in ghee and salt as required in the fox nuts or makhana. It is absolutely one's own choice to use them as per one's own liking.

* Step 2

Spread on a baking tray. Bake in a preheated oven on 200° for about 25-30 minutes. Keep tossing and turning in between two to three times to ensure that they are roasted well and not burnt.

* Step 3

It's very important to do so. And not only that, while roasting it is important to keep a vigilant eye on the oven prior to 5 minutes of the timer that has been set. It is because within just matter of seconds, they get done. And if not kept a check, they will be burnt. So please be careful during the last 5 minutes of baking.
