    Sago Kheer

    Kheer plays a vital role in any festival. Whenever there is some special occasion at home or any festival in Indian households preparing kheer is a tradition. There are so many varieties of Kheer.

    Sago/Sabudana/Tapioca Pearls/Javvarisi is one ingredient primarily used to prepare kheer. It is so easy to prepare, now let’s get started.

    How to make Sabudana Kheer

    1.Take 1 cup of sago or sabudana or tapioca pearls.

    2. Soak 1 cup of Sabudana/Tapioca in warm water for 30 mins.

    3. After soaking drain and remove the excess water and set it aside.

    4. Bring 1.5 cups of water to boil. To this add in the soaked Sabudana and cook till they are done. If you feel water is less you may add another ½ cup or as needed.

    5. Once the sago is cooked add in 2 cups of full cream milk. Cook in a medium flame and let it simmer for 20 mins.

    6. Next, add ¾ cup condensed milk. You may also add 1 cup of sugar instead of condensed milk.

    7. And then add 1 tsp cardamom powder or crush 4 cardamoms and add.

    8. The Kheer is now thick and creamy. Switch off the flame. Heat a pan with 1 tbsp ghee and roast 5-10 cashews and raisins until golden and plump and add to the kheer.

    Sabudana kheer is now ready.

    Tips & Variations

    • Alternatively, instead of soaking the Sago in water, we can also fry them in a tsp of Ghee and then start cooking in water.
    • Coconut pieces can also be used for garnishing.
    • Serve as a dessert after meals or during festivals.
