When the milk starts boiling, add sugar to it and let it dissolve. Now add ground makhanas and cardamom powder to it, mix and cook for five minutes. Save some dry fruits and nuts, mix the rest in the kheer. Cook till it becomes slightly thick. After this, add the saffron that was mixed in the milk. Your delicious makhana kheer is ready.
