Phool Makhana Kheer- A healthy and easy dessert of Fox nuts and milk

Phool Makhana kheer- phool makhana is usually used during fasting to make different types of sweet and savory dishes. Even plain roasted makhana is a great healthy snack as it is very light to digest and taste good. Makhana is derived from water lily plant ,the puffed lotus seeds are fox nuts.

Makhana is easily available in North India in all the spice stores and supermarket ,they are very light in weight and are reasonably priced as compared to other dry fruits and nuts.

Makhana is rich in calcium, Iron, zinc, Phosphorous etc. and have many Ayurvedic and medicinal properties .The most common use of Phool Makhana is to cure diarrhea and helps to improve and increase the weak appetite.It is also very good to use during pregnancy and as a postnatal food. It is very high in calcium so good for arthritis patients and old age people.

It is also a good source of antioxidants so makhana should be consumed not only during fasting but as a daily routine food in some way.

This Phool makhana kheer is an easy recipe ,you just have to roast the makhana in little ghee on low flame till they become crisp and brittle ,then grind them coarsely, you can also keep some makhana whole and grind the rest ,it depends on your choice. And then add the makhana in hot boiling milk and simmer for few minutes till it thickness,it taste great hot or cold.
