Makhane Ki Kheer

Makhane Ki Kheer is a famous pudding, originating from Bihar. Its popularity is widespread in India. This sweet, creamy dessert is considered to be an auspicious food in Bihar households. What makes this dish a bit different from the usual kheer is that it is prepared with foxnuts. Foxnuts are roasted and lightly ground before use.

Some important things should be kept in mind while preparing this A-list dish. The milk should be boiled carefully on medium heated, and stirred constantly to avoid burning. The more you condense the milk, the better it tastes. Sugar (cheeni) should always be added towards the end. Traditionally, Foxnuts are added almost at last stage.

Special attention should be paid to check curdling or formation of lumps in the kheer. Some roasted and chopped nuts are sprinkled for garnishing Kheer. This dessert is so delicious, so don’t think twice before preparing it any time.
