  • In the same pan, roast flaxseed and fennel seeds on medium till the flaxseed starts crackling, remove to a bowl and let it cool
  • Mix the three seeds
  • To half the mixture, add the sweet Red Mukhwas and leave the other as is to get two types of mukhwas
  • Store in a glass air tight container

Notes

You can add carom seeds/ajwain and even some dry coconut flakes. If you do add these, roast each one separately in the pan as they have different roasting times. if you like the fennel seeds very crisp, then roast them separately from the flaxseed and also soak them separately in lemon juice and salt. Flaxseed gets toasted faster than the fennel. Adding the sweet red mukhwas is optional. I have added red mukhwas to only half, but if you want the entire mukhwas to be sweet, use 1 cup sweet red mukhwas instead of 1/2 cup.
