One thing that makhane (lotus seeds) is super popular is for the makhane ki kheer. Made during festivals and specially during navratri since makhane is considered phalahar it's has his place planted firmly in my favorite kheers. One thing that I learnt from my grandmom with this kheer was to add chironji to it. The chironji adds a brilliant crunch to the kheer and takes the flavour punch to a different level all together.
