Heat ghee in a pan and fry makhana for few minutes till the makhana is crisp on low heat. Once the makhana cools a little crush it.

In a saucepan bring the milk to boil. Add the crushed makhana and cook it on low heat till the milk is thick and creamy. This may take about 30-40 mins. Now add raisins, almonds and cashew nuts. Cook for 5 more minutes.

While serving sprinkle the ground cardamom.
