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. Featuring roasted makhana coated with an array of spices, it beautifully replicates the taste of Uncle Chips. It contains very little oil, making it a healthier alternative to the popular chips. So, you can enjoy it guilt-free, without the fear of consuming extra calories.
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.
