Phool Makhana Curry Recipe / Makhane Ki Sabzi with step by step pics and a short YouTube video. If you like my video, please share it and don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE to my channel. It is a creamy, rich and vegan curry that goes well with Phulka, Chapati, Jeera Rice, Bhatura etc. I usually buy a big pack of this makhana and make savoury recipes like Spicy Makhana, Masala Makhana Namkeen and sometimes Makhana Kheer. When I was jotting down the recipes for Navratri, this Makhana Sabzi came to my mind and I reserved half of the packet to prepare this curry. Just a quick tip before going to the recipe, always add the makhana to the sabzi before serving only, else it becomes soggy or shrinks.

Notes

Tips for Makhane Ki Sabzi

  1. Roasting the makhana until crispy is a very important step, else it becomes soggy and smells raw, while adding to the gravy.
  2. I suggest to roast the makhana in ghee, which lends a nice aroma for this Phool Makhana Curry Recipe.
  3. To check if the makhana is roasted well, take one makhana and break it. If it crushes easily, then it’s perfect.
  4. If preparing for vrat, skip the onion, garlic and then proceed with the recipe.
  5. Adjust chilli and spice powders as per spice level and flavour required.
  6. For a variation, few cubed paneer pieces or  1/4 cup of green peas can be added.
  7. This Makhane Ki Sabzi should be creamy, so don't add lot of water.
  8. Also, add the roasted makhana at last and cook for just 1 minute only, else it becomes soggy or disintegrates in the gravy.
  9. For richness in the sabzi, 2 tbsp of fresh cream can be drizzled at last.
