Preheat the air fryer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Preheat your air fryer to <strong>350\u00b0F for 2\u20133 minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Roast the makhana<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Place the makhana in the air fryer basket and air fry at <strong>350\u00b0F for 7\u20138 minutes<\/strong>, shaking the basket halfway through. They should become light, crisp, and easy to break.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Roast the nuts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Add the peanuts and cashews to an air-fryer-safe pan or dish. Air fry at <strong>340\u00b0F for about 5 minutes<\/strong>, checking frequently so they don&#8217;t burn.<\/p>\n<p>Add the coconut slices and continue roasting for another <strong>1\u20132 minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Add the curry leaves<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Add the curry leaves and roast for about <strong>1 minute<\/strong>, just until crisp. Air fryers vary, so keep a close eye on the nuts because they can brown quickly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Season everything<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Transfer the roasted makhana, nuts, coconut, curry leaves, and roasted chana dal to a large bowl.<\/p>\n<p>Add the oil or melted ghee, chaat masala, black pepper, Kashmiri chili powder, turmeric, salt, and amchur powder.<\/p>\n<p>Toss everything very well until evenly coated.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Cool and serve<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Let the namkeen cool completely. It will become even crispier as it cools.<\/p>\n<p>Serve with hot tea or coffee, or keep it in an airtight container for a crunchy snack anytime. Homemade namkeen can be stored in an airtight container once completely cooled.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00a0Pro Tip<\/h3>\n<p>Don&#8217;t overcrowd the air fryer, and check the nuts frequently during the last few minutes. <strong>Every air fryer cooks differently<\/strong>, and nuts can go from perfectly roasted to burnt very quickly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crispy Air-Fried Namkeen Roast These soft, juicy, tender Air-Fried Namkeen Roast are absolutely delicious, flavorful, and surprisingly easy to make!\u00a0&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7297,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7296","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recipe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7296","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7296"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7296\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7298,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7296\/revisions\/7298"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7297"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7296"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7296"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7296"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
