Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Fry the Makhana

Pour 1 tablespoon of ghee into a pan and heat it. Add the makhana to the pan and fry until they become crisp and lightly golden, stirring continuously for about 2-3 minutes.

Step 2: Grind the Makhana

Once fried, remove the makhana from the pan and place them on a plate. Gently crush the makhana using a spoon or a pestle until they are in small, coarse pieces.

Step 3: Prepare Nuts

Take cashew nuts and almonds. Grind them into a coarse powder. (This step is implied as powdered nuts are added later).

Step 4: Boil Milk

Pour 2 cups of milk into a clean pan and place it on the stove. Bring the milk to a boil, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.

Step 5: Add Makhana and Nuts

Once the milk is boiling, add the crushed makhana to the pan. Then, add the powdered cashew nuts and almonds to the milk mixture.

Step 6: Add Flavorings and Sweetener

Add 1/2 teaspoon of cardamom powder for aroma. Then, add 1/4 cup of sugar for sweetness, stirring well to combine all ingredients.

Step 7: Finish with Ghee and Raisins

Add 1 tablespoon of ghee and 2 tablespoons of raisins to the kheer. Stir everything together and cook for a few more minutes until the kheer thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 8: Serve

Once ready, transfer the Makhana Kheer to a serving bowl. Garnish with a few whole makhana if desired and serve warm or chilled.
