This
recipe of makhane ki kheer comes from my mom's kitchen. She makes it on the
occasion of Janmashtami. This is a very delicious kheer, tastier than
rice kheer. Makhane ki kheer can be made in fasts like 'Ekadashi' , Navratri' and 'Janmashtami' as it is a falahari food.
Recipe of
makhane ki kheer
1 liter
full fat milk
1 cup makhane (lotus seeds)
2 tsp
ghee (clarified butter)
2-3 pods
elaichi (green cardamom) - crushed

ghee in a kadhai or a pan and add makhane. Roast makhane on a medium-low heat,

them in the jar of food processor or a mixie and crush them to small pieces by
spinning the jar to 2-3 rounds. Remember makhane should not turn to powder.
