Makhana Aur Mewa Kheer

🇮🇳 Indian

Fox nut kheer, light and nutty, the healthy-leaning festival dessert. The taste of every good news day in an Indian household. Plate in petit-four pieces with tea or as prasad.

Prep 24 min Cook 56 min Serves 4 Medium

Ingredients

  • Salta pinch
  • Ghee3 tbsp
  • Milk1 litre
  • Sugar1 tsp
  • Green Cardamom1 tsp
  • Makhana (Fox Nuts)1 cup

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prep first: nuts chopped, pans greased, trays ready — this recipe rewards organization.

  2. 2

    Start the base: the makhana (fox nuts) and milk together in a thick pan, stirring so nothing catches.

  3. 3

    Keep going until the mass pulls away from the pan and glistens; the colour should deepen a shade.

  4. 4

    Add the sugar, cardamom and any nuts or saffron; fold through and cook two minutes more.

  5. 5

    Shape or slice once it has cooled enough to handle; it firms up as it rests.

Chef's tip

A final squeeze of lemon or lime right before serving wakes up every other flavour.
