100 grams Makhana (Fox Nuts) If hard to find, substitute with popped corn for a looser texture.
100 grams Almonds Try using walnuts instead for a more earthy taste.
100 grams Cashews If nut-free, seeds or roasted chickpeas can work as substitutes.

2 teaspoons Ghee Coconut oil is a suitable alternative for a plant-based version.
1 teaspoon Mustard Seeds Sesame seeds can be used for a milder option.
2 sprigs Curry Leaves Dried leaves are a good substitute.
2 teaspoons Chaat Masala Adjust quantity based on spice preference.
1/2 teaspoon Turmeric Powder A pinch of cayenne can deepen the spice profile.
1/2 teaspoon Salt Flavored salts like smoked salt can add an interesting twist.

Preheat your air fryer to 180°C for about 3 minutes.
Air fry the Makhana at 180°C for 6 minutes.
Remove the Makhana and air fry the almonds and cashews for another 6 minutes, shaking them halfway.
In a Kadhai, heat ghee and add mustard seeds until they splutter.
Add curry leaves, chaat masala, turmeric powder, and salt. Sauté for about 10 seconds.
Combine roasted Makhana and nuts with the spice mix, tossing until evenly coated.
Turn off the flame and allow the mixture to cool completely before storing.

Store in an airtight jar for up to a week at room temperature. Keep away from moisture to maintain crunch.
