1/4 Teaspoon Black Pepper Freshly ground

Instructions

Make sure the makhana (fox nuts) are free from debris.
Add makhana into the Air Fryer compartment. Turn the temperature to 330 F for 3 minutes. After 3 minutes, mix up the makhana. Allow them to air fry at 330 F for 3 more minutes.
Pour out the air fried makhana into a mixing bowl. Spray coconut oil over the makhana. Sprinkle turmeric powder, salt, black pepper and garam masala into the bowl. Mix well so the oil and spices are evenly coated over the makhana.
Put the makhana back into the air fryer for 9 minutes at 330 F. After 6 minutes, open the air fryer to check crispiness. Mix well, and air fry for an additional 2-3 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature. You can store this in an airtight bottle for a week, in your pantry.
