I used my microwave to roast the foxnuts. It took just 2 minutes for roasting and since i did it in 3 batches because of the quantity, it took 6 minutes exactly and 1 minute for tadka. So this dish gets done in flat 7-8 minutes.
Take all of the foxnuts in a large bowl or plate, whichever is comfortable to mix in the oil. Take 1-2 teaspoon of oil and pour it over the foxnuts, mix it well with your hands.100 grams fox nuts
