Makhana is a house favourite especially with my baby niece. For her, it is made with ghee, jeera, curry leaves and a hint of salt and jaggery. But because I need spice – and lots of it – I use a curry powder which essentially has turmeric, red chili powder, coriander and cumin powder, along with bay leaf and fenugreek and a touch of cinnamon. You can use any other option.
