Makhana Kheer is a comforting and traditional Indian dessert known for its rich, creamy texture and delicate flavour. Roasted makhana (fox nuts) are simmered in warm milk until soft, while a portion of the makhana is ground to naturally thicken the kheer. Sweetened with condensed milk and infused with fragrant saffron, this dessert develops a luxurious taste and aroma. The addition of chopped mixed nuts adds a delightful crunch, while pistachios and dried rose petals create a beautiful garnish. Served warm or chilled, Makhana Kheer is a perfect festive dessert that combines nourishment with indulgent sweetness.
