Makhane kheer, phool makhana ka kheer is an easy kheer made with simple ingredients. Full video and step by step pictures recipe.
I got phool makhana this year and have made spicy phool makhana snack few times. I wanted to try other recipes with it like gravy and kheer with it. Since Navratri starts from today, thought of making and posting this kheer today. I loved kheer than the snack I made earlier. It is very nice to make kheer with.

I have made this kheer by boiling and reducing the milk cooking along the makhane, adding little evaporated milk for richness. You can use condensed milk in place of evaporated milk and adjust sugar accordingly. Saffron and cardamom adds flavour to the kheer. Best both when had warm or chilled.
