Why Chips-Flavored Makhana is a Must Try?
Uncle Chips-Flavored Makhana is a great option for those who are in the mood to experiment.

How to prevent Makhana from getting wet?
Makhana tastes best when it has a nice, crunchy texture. To achieve this, make sure you fry the makhanas well before adding them to the spices. This will help them maintain their appetite for a long time. Don’t forget to store the makhana in an airtight container to avoid contact with moisture, which can cause them to get soggy quickly.
