Make-Ahead Falahari Namkeen for Guests

Author : Chukde Spices | Published On : 15 Oct 2026

When guests visit during Navratri, a prepared jar of falahari namkeen makes serving a snack easy. This homemade version brings together potato strands, makhana, nuts and optional sabudana.

Prepare each ingredient separately. Dry the grated potatoes well before frying, roast the makhana slowly, and cook the nuts until crisp. Mix everything with sendha namak and black pepper, adjusting the seasoning to taste.

Spread the namkeen on a tray to cool before packing it into a dry, airtight container. Keep the jar away from heat and moisture, and use a dry spoon each time you serve it.
