Detailed Steps to make Makhana Kheer:
- Roast the UrjaBites Makhana: In a pan, heat a teaspoon of ghee over medium heat. Add the UrjaBites Makhana and roast them until they become crisp and slightly golden.

- Boil the Milk: In a heavy-bottomed pan, bring the remaining milk to a boil. Stir occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
