- For extra flavor, toast the fox nuts for a few minutes in a dry pan before adding them to the butter. This will enhance their natural nutty flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when roasting the fox nuts; work in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Adjust the amount of salt and pepper to your liking. You can also experiment with other spices like chili flakes for a spicier kick.
- Store leftover Pudina Makhana in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
