🥣 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.
