- For making salted makhana, add salt and black pepper after switching off the flame.
- Transfer the roasted makhana to a steel bowl so that it doesn’t get any extra heat.
- For making sweet makhana, add sugar after roasting them for a min. Let the sugar melt and caramelize and switch off the flame when sugar is completely coated on makhana and is melted fully.
