Chef Deepak Gore Creates Wholesome Makhana Kheer Recipe
Imagine a yummy dessert called Makhana Kheer, made by a chef named Deepak Gore.
It's like a special pudding made from tiny puffed lotus seeds that are full of protein.
He roasts these seeds until they are crunchy and then breaks them into small pieces.

A little bit of saffron and cardamom gives it a nice smell and taste.
You can eat it warm or cold, and it’s decorated with more nuts and raisins.
