Falahari Kesar Makhana Kheer| Saffron Flavoured Fox Nut Pudding

Kesar Makhana Kheer is usually made and served during the Indian festival Navratri or any other fasting days or vrat.

We are so much engrossed into Sabudana and sabudana made dishes, that we forget many other dishes that can be prepared for fasting other than sabudana.

This lip-smacking “Kesar Makhana Kheer” is one such dessert which is delicious as well as healthy & will energise you during your fasting.

The recipe for Kesar Makhana Kheer is quite simple & similar to other kheer/pudding recipes (like chawal ki kheer, sewai etc.) and will be a treat to your taste buds.

The creamy Kesar Makhana kheer is prepared using milk, fox nuts, sugar, saffron and dry fruits. The milk along with sugar and fox nuts is simmered on low flame until it turns thick & creamy, which is then flavoured with saffron, cardamom and at last dry fruits.

This delicious pudding can be served any time of the day during your fasting or you can also prepare it as dessert otherwise.

So, let’s check out the recipe…!!!
