I had posted a recipe for Makhane ki Sabji which has been very popular. I am now writing about Makahne ka kheer. I am sure you will like this also.
Ingredients
Makhana 2 cups
Milk 5 cups
Dry fruits according to taste
Saffron a few strands
Cardamoms 3-4
Sugar
Ghee or butter
Take good quality fluffy makhanas for this dish.
Cooking
- Boil the milk till it thickens to half.
- Fry the makhanas lightly in ghee or butter till they become crisp.
- Break or rather crush the makhanas into small pieces.
- Add makhanas to the milk and cook like any other kheer.
- Add sugar and crushed cardamom seeds and cook till the sugar melts.
- Remove from fire.
- Add dry fruits and let the kheer cool to room temperature.
- Mix a few strands of saffron in two to three tea spoons of milk.
- Pour it into the kheer and mix.
The kheer is ready. Keep it in the fridge for about half an hour or so and let it cool.
Garnish with sliced dry fruits and a few strands of saffron and serve. It makes excellent dessert.
