I just dry roast them on a tawa with a tiny pinch of salt and black pepper. I eat a tablespoon of this in the evening to curb my hunger, and it has worked well for me.

I dry roast pumpkin seeds and powder them slightly, then sprinkle them over my daughter's morning curd or oats. It keeps her full and energetic throughout her school hours.

Look, don't overcomplicate it by making fancy recipes. Just roast them dry and eat a handful, but remember they won't burn fat if you keep eating samosas daily.

The easiest way is to roast them with a bit of jeera powder and rock salt. Keep them in an airtight jar and have them with green tea instead of oily biscuits.

They are great for weight loss when roasted lightly without oil. But if your weight gain is due to thyroid like mine, seeds alone won't work, so keep doing your blood tests regularly.

While pumpkin seeds are rich in fiber, eat them in limited quantities because too many can cause stomach upset. Always consult your dietitian before adding new seeds to your routine.

I literally just toss them in the air fryer with some peri peri masala for 5 minutes. Super cheap and easy snack to get through those late-night study cravings.
