Sabbakki Payasa/ Sabudana Payasa (aka Kheer)

Ingredients

1. Sabbakki or Sabudana (pearl tapioca or sago rice) – 1 cup
2. Sugar – 1 cup
3. Milk – 3 cups
4. Raisin, Cashew, almond, cardamom – as required
5. Ghee

Method:

1. Soak Sabudana in water for about 30 mins.
2. Once they soaked, cook them till they become transparent. It usually takes about 15 mins.
3. Add milk and sugar. Again Heat on a low flame for few more mins.
4. Keep stirring since the cooked Sabbakki has the tendency to burn and might get stuck to the pan.
5. As you cook Sabbakki, its consistency becomes thicker. So, if you feel, you could add a little bit of milk as required.
6. To garnish, roast few cashews, almonds in ghee (clarified butter) and add to Payasa. Also add raisins and cardamoms.
7. That's it! you’re done. Serve cold or hot.
