A homemade trail mix is a simple way to combine different textures and flavours.

3. Traditional Makhana Kheer

Makhana kheer is a familiar Indian dessert often prepared for festive occasions and family meals.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup makhana

• 500 ml milk

• Sugar to taste

• A few chopped nuts

• Cardamom powder

Method:

1. Lightly roast the makhana in a pan.

2. Crush some of the roasted makhana into smaller pieces.

3. Bring the milk to a gentle simmer in a separate pan.

4. Add the makhana and cook on low heat until it softens and the mixture thickens.

6. Garnish with chopped nuts and serve warm or chilled.

Cooking time depends on the type and texture of the makhana. Stir regularly to prevent the milk from sticking to the pan.
