Roasted chana and makhana: smarter snacks for weight controlMost weight creeps on through snacks: biscuits with tea, namkeen, chips. Swapping them for a handful of roasted chana or makhana gives crunch and satisfaction with more protein and fibre — a small change that adds up.
Jeera (cumin): roasted jeera powder and other everyday digestive usesCumin is the backbone of the Indian tadka. A jar of freshly roasted jeera powder — sprinkled on raita, buttermilk, chaat and fruit — is one of the simplest ways to add flavour and gentle digestive support to daily meals.
Roasted makhana with salt and pepperMakhana are roasted with a few drops of ghee, then finished with rock salt and black pepper. You eat a handful as a snack. It is not a bowl you finish while watching the evening pass.
