How To Prevent Makhana From Becoming Soggy?
Makhana can easily become soggy if not stored properly. To ensure they remain crispy, consider roasting or air-frying them. This helps remove any moisture and gives them a nice crunch. Apart from this, you must also pay attention to how you store makhana. If you want them to stay fresh for a longer period of time, air-tight containers are your best companions.
