makhana kheer recipe

 

Makhana ki kheer is a pudding made up of makhana, milk and sugar. Makhana is a white seeds produced in plant known as Euryale ferox. These seeds are collected and roasted on heat which puff them like a popcorn. In English Makhana is known as foxnuts or lotus seeds or gorgon nuts.

These nuts are different from other nut as Makhana are very low in fat and high in carbohydrate. It also has lots of nutritional benefits as they are rich in protein, carbohydrates, potassium, phosphorus, fibre, magnesium,  iron and zinc. Makhana also contain an anti-aging enzyme, which is believed to help repair damaged proteins.

Instead of munching on chips choosing a handful of roasted makhana is a very healthy yet scrumptious option.

Because of it’s nutritional benefits of makhana, this kheer recipe is a very good food for babies and toddlers. Prepare this healthy makhana kheer, hope you like it.
