Ingredients:

Sabudana: 1 cup (soaked overnight)

Full cream milk: 1 litre

Method:

Soak sabudana overnight.

Take 1 litre of full cream milk and give it a boil on high flame in a thick bottom non-stick pan.

Add soaked sabudana and give a good stir.

Simmer it on low flame for 45 minutes stirring occasionally scrapping the sides and the bottom.

Add sugar and mix well.

Cook for another ten minutes.

Turn off the flame and let it cool.

Refrigerate if you want to serve it chilled.

You can add almonds, cashews and raisins if you want to enjoy little crunch with soft sago.

 

Sago kheer is very delicious and can be cooked very quickly. This kheer thickens after cooling, so keep the consistency a little thin while cooking.
