To get the absolute taste of the kheer and makhana, roast some makhana and add the crushed portion on kheer but also keep some pieces whole so you can taste the seed in your mouth. Similarly, if you are adding nuts, roast them gently before adding them to get the perfect texture and taste. 

Makhana Cookies

Makahan Cookies will be the perfect evening snack for your relatives and guests, and you also enjoy it while observing your Radha Ashtami vrat. The crispiness of makhana is a little hard to attain, so make sure you don’t rush it and make it at least a day before the celebration. Roast the fox nuts thoroughly before grinding them so they taste more crunchy and not at all soft, otherwise the flour will retain moisture. Avoid adding too much liquid while preparing the dough. Let the shaped cookies sit for a few minutes before naking them. Allow the warm cookies to sit for a while before storing them in an airtight container. Know how to make Makhana Cookies with NoNgs.
