Actually, we are talking about Makhana Kheer, which is considered the best option for breaking the fast. It is also very healthy, so if you consume it at the time of breaking the fast, then it will not harm your health.

Ingredients for making Makhana Kheer

Makhana – 1 cup

Milk – 1 liter

Desi ghee – 1 teaspoon

Sugar – 3-4 tablespoons

Chopped dry fruits (cashews, almonds, pistachios) – 2-3 tablespoons

Cardamom powder – 1/2 teaspoon

Saffron – a few strands (soaked in hot milk)

Method

The method of making Makhana Kheer is quite easy. For this, you have to roast the makhanas first. To roast the makhanas, first put some desi ghee in a heavy-bottom pan and then add makhanas to it. Now roast it while stirring on a low flame. You have to roast it till it becomes crispy; otherwise, the kheer will not taste good. Now, either put it in the mixer and grind it a little coarsely.

Keep in mind that you just have to cut it into pieces; do not grind it finely. After coarse grinding, it is now time to boil the milk for the kheer. So put the milk to boil in a pan.

When the milk starts thickening, add coarsely ground makhana to it. After this, stir it continuously. Cook it on a low flame for 10-15 minutes so that the makhana melts well in the milk. When the makhana melts, add sugar, cardamom powder, and saffron threads to it.

Finally, add dry fruits as per taste. Now cook it for two to three minutes and then turn off the gas. You can make it and keep it in the fridge and consume it at the time of breaking the fast.
