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 !

Rice Kheer in Rice Cooker

Till now, I have been using rice cooker for just cooking rice. Recently I learnt that one cook toor daal (lentil soup), daal makhani and rice kheer. Since, dessert is my weakness, I thought I should start with rice kheer. Ingredients Rice - 1/2 cup Whole milk - 1.5 cups + more Raisins - 1/4 cup Sugar - 1/2 cup Cardamom powder - 1/4 tsp Ghee (clarified butter oil) - 1/2 tsp Method Rinse rice with water. Drain excess water and put rice in the slow cooker.  Pour all the milk and turn on the rice cooker and cover the lid.  It is important to stir kheer from to time to time. Add sugar. You may need to add more milk as the milk concentrates before the rice is cooked.  Once the rice cooked in milk turn off the switch. Heat ghee in a laddle. When hot add the raisins and cook on low heat till raising loook golden and pour the mixture in the kheer. Sprinkle the cardamom powder and serve cold or warm

Homemade Diwali Diyas From Dough

HA P PY DI W AL I ! !! ! This year for Diwali I made diyas [Diwali lights] at home!! They came out pretty nice ! I prepared it very simple but you can get creative by painting, glue small mirrors , beads and other stuff. Here is how I prepared: Ingredients: Whole wheat flour Water-just enough to prepare the dough Food color - yellow [optional] Method: Pre-heat oven at 200 degree Fahrenheit. Line the baking tray/dish with un-greased foil Combine flour, water and color in a bowl to prepare little stiff dough Pinch out small balls from the dough and shape it into diyas Bake it in the oven for 20 minutes [during the process I gradually increased the baking temperature to 300] Cool diyas at room temperature The diyas should feel little hard, if not just leave it in the sun Roll out some cotton wool to make wick, add some oil and light your Diya !!! Tips: While preparing the dough you can add some fresh petals to add beautiful pattern During baking, one of my...
