How do I roast raw phool makhana at home?

Why is handpicked Bihar makhana better?

Our foxnuts come from farmer families in Madhubani, Bihar — the heart of India's makhana belt. Hand-grading picks out the larger, whiter, fully-popped seeds, so you get uniform pops that roast evenly and crunch better than mixed machine-sorted grades.

How should I store raw makhana?

Keep it in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and reseal the pack after opening. Stored airtight, it stays fresh for up to 9 months from manufacture. If the pops soften, re-crisp them in a dry pan on low heat for a couple of minutes.
