3 tips for perfect kheer
Crush, don’t powder – texture is the point. Low flame always – milk scorches fast. Jaggery off the heat – add after switching off to avoid curdling.
Variations
Vegan? Coconut milk works beautifully. Fasting? It is already vrat-friendly. Protein boost? Stir in crushed cashews. For an everyday non-dessert version of makhana, try our 5-flavour roasting guide.

Is makhana good for weight loss?
Yes. Makhana is low in calories, high in protein and fibre, and keeps you full longer. Roasted makhana is a healthier alternative to fried snacks like chips.
