Makhane Ki Kheer – Dairy-Free!

Prep Time
8 hours
Cook Time
20 minutes
Servings
2 servings

Fox nuts or Makhana are known to be rich in nutrition. Makhane ki kheer is very popular as a dish made during fasts observed for festivals.

Its usually made by frying nuts and makhana in ghee and adding refined sugar and thickening dairy milk.

This dairy-free version is fabulous as a guilt-free healthy indulgence.

Ingredients
  • Almonds: ½ cup
  • Water: 2.5-3 cups
  • Organic jaggery powder: ½ cup
  • Makhana: 2 cups
  • Cardamom powder: ¼ tsp
  • Saffron: A few strands
Method
  • Soak almonds in enough water for 8 hours.
  • After soaking for 8 hrs, rinse well and soak in boiling water for another 30 mins. This helps to peel the almonds easily.
  • Dry roast makhana in a heavy-bottomed pan on very slow flame, until crisp. Take care not to brown them.
  • Cool the roasted makhana. Retain a handful and grind the remaining in a mixie into a powder.
  • Blend the peeled almonds adding the measured water little by little to get as smooth a paste as you can. Don’t worry if there are almond bits.
  • Place the ground almond paste/slurry in a pan and cook on a slow flame for about 5 minutes.
  • Add ground makhana, cardamom powder and stir well.
  • Add jaggery powder and the retained whole makhana. Stirring continuously and simmer on low flame for 5 minutes.
  • Serve hot, garnished with saffron strands.
  • It can be served chilled. Please note that it thickens a little on chilling. You can add some boiling water to get a thinner consistency.

Wellcure Tip

  • Nut milks have a tendency to split therefore it is always good not to boil nut milks on high heat.

     

Eating Guide:

  • Food group: Nuts and seeds

  • Best time to eat: As evening snack or after meals. Do not mix with fruit. It can be combined with other food groups.

  • Great way to up natural oils and fats for kids.
