Sabudana Kheer is a creamy and aromatic Indian dessert made from tapioca pearls, milk, and flavoured with cardamom. It’s a delightful treat often prepared during festivals and special occasions. Here’s how to make Sabudana Kheer:

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup sabudana (tapioca pearls)
  • 4 cups full-fat milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 cup mixed dry fruits (almonds, cashews, and raisins), chopped
  • 4-5 green cardamom pods, powdered
  • A pinch of saffron strands (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon ghee (clarified butter)
  • A few saffron strands for garnish (optional)
  • Fresh rose petals or edible silver leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preparing the Sabudana:

  1. Rinse the sabudana under cold running water until the water runs clear.
  2. Soak the rinsed sabudana in enough water for 2-3 hours. They should swell and become soft.
  3. After soaking, drain the sabudana and set them aside.

2. Cooking the Sabudana:

  1. In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat the ghee.
  2. Add the drained sabudana and sauté on low heat for a few minutes. This ensures they don’t stick together.
  3. Add milk and bring the mixture to a boil. Then, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sabudana are cooked and the mixture thickens. This should take about 20-30 minutes.

3. Sweetening the Kheer:

  1. Add sugar and continue to cook the kheer until the sugar dissolves and the kheer thickens to your desired consistency.
  2. Add powdered cardamom and saffron strands (if using). Mix well.

4. Garnishing:

  1. Add the chopped mixed dry fruits to the kheer and stir.
  2. Remove the kheer from heat.

5. Serving:

  1. Serve Sabudana Kheer hot or chilled, garnished with saffron strands and fresh rose petals or edible silver leaves if you like.
  2. Enjoy the rich and creamy dessert!

Tips:

  • Adjust the sugar according to your taste.
  • You can use a mix of dry fruits of your choice.
  • If you like a healthier option use jaggery powder instead of sugar!!

Sabudana Kheer is a delightful Indian dessert, perfect for special occasions and festivals. The combination of creamy milk, fragrant cardamom, and the subtle chewiness of sabudana make it a sweet treat that everyone will love.
