Combo Makhana + Cashew

What does this combo pack include?

This combo contains 200g Grade A makhana (raw, from Bihar) and 200g W240 premium cashew nuts, total 400g. The makhana gives you a crispy low-calorie bulk snack and the cashews add creaminess and protein - ideal for those balancing weight-loss snacking with nutrition.

How do I prepare the makhana portion of the combo?

Dry roast the raw makhana in a pan with 1 tsp ghee on medium-low heat for 4-5 minutes until crispy, then add rock salt, black pepper and a pinch of chaat masala. Toss in a handful of cashews (roast them separately for 1 minute) and enjoy - this is a restaurant-style Indian party snack at home.

Can I use this combo for fasting (vrat)?

Yes - both makhana and cashews are vrat-friendly foods, accepted during Navratri, Ekadashi and other traditional fasts. Roast the makhana in ghee, add rock salt (sendha namak) instead of regular salt, and toss with cashews for a filling, energy-rich fasting snack.

How does this combo help with weight loss?

Makhana is one of the lowest-calorie snacks (about 107 calories per 30g), while cashews are slightly more calorie-dense (155 per 30g) but very satiating. Together, a 30g mix gives you roughly 130 calories with strong fullness - replacing chips or biscuits with this combo is an easy way to cut 200+ calories a day.

How long does the makhana stay crunchy after roasting?

Roasted makhana stays crunchy for 7-10 days if stored in an airtight container away from moisture. If it becomes soft, dry roast again for 2 minutes to restore the crunch. Raw unroasted makhana (what comes in the pack) stays fresh for 3-4 months in a sealed container.
