Sabudana Kheer – Sweet Pearls of Peace for Every Vrat Plate Recipe

🥣 When Fasting Ends with Something Soft and Sweet

There are desserts you devour.
And then there’s Sabudana Kheer —
The kind you eat slow, in small silver bowls, while the diya flickers and incense lingers.

It’s soft.
It’s creamy.
It’s satvik — sweetened with care, not chaos.

This kheer doesn’t shout.
It soothes.

🛒 What You’ll Need (Serves 2–3 bowls of grace):

½ cup sabudana (sago), soaked for 2–3 hours

2 cups full cream milk

¼ cup sugar (adjust to taste)

2–3 cardamom pods, crushed

6–8 cashews, chopped

1 tbsp raisins (optional)

1 tsp ghee

A few strands of saffron (optional)

1–2 drops of rose water (optional for aroma)




🍯 How to Make It – Soft, Sweet, and Satvik

1. Soak the Pearls

Rinse sabudana until water runs clear. Soak in just enough water to cover, for 2–3 hours.

2. Start the Base

In a thick-bottomed pan, bring milk to a gentle boil.
Add soaked sabudana. Stir often, simmer till pearls turn translucent and soft (~10–12 mins).

3. Sweeten the Calm

Add sugar, cardamom, saffron. Stir well till dissolved.
Let the kheer thicken slightly. Don’t overboil — it will thicken more as it cools.

4. Ghee-Tossed Garnish

In a spoon of ghee, roast cashews and raisins till golden. Add to the kheer.
Optional: Add rose water and let it rest.

5. Serve With Softness

Warm or chilled, in small bowls with a peaceful smile.
