Preparing the Makhana 1. Heat a pan over medium heat and dry roast the makhana until they become crisp. Set aside.

Melting the Chocolate 2. In a heatproof bowl, break the dark chocolate into small pieces and add coconut oil and salt. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bowl does not touch the water. Stir occasionally until the chocolate melts and becomes smooth.

Coating the Makhana 3. Remove the melted chocolate from heat. Add the roasted makhana to the bowl of melted chocolate and gently fold until all makhana are coated thoroughly.

Setting and Serving 4. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Spread the coated makhana in a single layer on the tray. Sprinkle chopped nuts on top if desired. Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature or in the refrigerator until firm. Break into clusters and serve.
