RECIPE STEPS:
  1. Heat up the ghee. Only a tsp.
  2. Add the phool makhane and stir them avoiding any burns.
  3. It is going to take 5-7 minutes in medium flame and makhane will be ready. Crunchy and shiny!
RECIPE NOTES :

Make sure you don't burn the makhane.<br/>And a tsp. of ghee is literally a tsp., not more than that.<br/>I added no salt, you could add some sendha namak, but this works great too without any salt.
