Sabudana Ki Kheer / Sago Pudding / Tapioca Pudding

Sabudana kheer is very popular in India during fasting. Sabudana is also known as Pearl Sago. It is mainly carbohydrate and very little other nutrients.

Sabudana Kheer

Ingredients:

Sabudana / Sago - 1/2 cup
Milk - 2 cups
Water - 1 cup
Sugar - according to taste
Saffron [Kesar] - 3-4 strings
Cardamom powder - 1/4 tsp
Water - 1/2 cup
Raisins, cashews - handful

Method:

Soak sabudana in 1 cup of water and let it sit for 20 minutes. Next drain the water and add it to the boiling water. Cook till sabudana is half done [it starts looking little glossy and translucent]

Now add milk and cook sabudana completely on medium heat. Keep stirring in between [sabudana looks gelatinous at this point]

Add sugar, saffron strings, cashews and raisins and cardamom powder

Serve cold or warm

My notes:

Sabudana is a sago starch, hence has starchy fragrance. Adding cardamom powder masks the smell of starch and makes the dish more inviting !
