Maharashtrian Sabudana Kheer

🇮🇳 Indian

Pearl tapioca kheer, fasting-day dessert with saffron strands. Ghee, sugar, patience — the three ingredients in every Indian celebration. Serve at room temperature, cut small — sweetness needs no size.

Prep 15 min Cook 37 min Serves 5 Medium

Ingredients

  • Salta pinch
  • Ghee3 tbsp
  • Milk1 litre
  • Sugar1 tsp
  • Sago (Sabudana)1 cup, soaked
  • Green Cardamom1 tsp

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prep first: nuts chopped, pans greased, trays ready — this recipe rewards organization.

  2. 2

    Combine the sago (sabudana) with the milk in a heavy-bottomed pan and begin cooking over medium heat, stirring constantly.

  3. 3

    Cook, stirring, until the mixture thickens and leaves the sides of the pan — 15 to 25 minutes of honest work.

  4. 4

    Stir in the sugar with the cardamom; the aroma should bloom immediately.

  5. 5

    Tip into a greased tray, level the top, sprinkle nuts, and let it set before cutting into diamonds.

Chef's tip

Cut barfi-style sweets while barely warm or they crumble.
