Rice ki kheer is common dessert among Indians but Punjabis celebrate lohri with this generous dessert. It's healthy too as Makhane/fox nut helps in controlling blood sugar level.

Also, they have plenty of protein, magnesium, potassium, calcium, fibre, and anti-ageing substances. In addition to this, fox nuts aid in weight management so you won't regret munching on makhane ki kheer.

Here's the recipe:

• Makhana- 2 tbsp
• Bananas- 4
• Dry fruits- handful
• Full cream milk- 1 litre
• Soaked Chiraunji- 1 cup
• Condensed milk- 3 tbsp
• Sugar- 1 cup

Steps:

Boil milk in a deep sauce pan until it comes to half. Mix chiraunji, bananas, and condensed milk. Add sugar and makhane. Garnish with dry fruits and enjoy.

The classic lohri thali will have a lot of desserts like gur ka halwa, murmura ladoo, atta ladoo, and chikki. After all, it's a punjabi's way to celebrate.
