Makhane ki Kheer

Rich Creamy Lachchedar Makhane ki kheer was mom’s speciality and a must for every formal dinner occasion in our house! Making it along with mom after so many years was extremely special. However my son’s reaction of Mmmmm…with eyes closed in rapture…sure made my mom’s day! 🙂

Method:
Thinly slice Makhane

Measure 1 cup out….must be tightly packed!

Heat a tsp of ghee in a heavy bottomed pan, (I prefer to use my pressure cooker)and roast the Makhane

Also add 2-3 whole elaichis

Now add 8 cups milk to the roasted makhan dande bring to boil on medium high’ stirring frequently.

Reduce to low heat and cook, stirring intermittently till milk thickens to a rabri like consistancy. Add sugar to taste and set to cool. Chill and serve garnished with chopped nuts and ground elaichi.
