Instructions

Prepare the Sabudana

Wash the sabudana pearls thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. In a bowl, soak the sabudana in 2 cups of water for at least 3-4 hours, or until it becomes translucent and slightly soft.

Roast the Nuts and Raisins

Heat 1 teaspoon of ghee in a small pan over medium heat. Add the cashews and roast until lightly golden, being careful not to burn them. Remove from pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining 1 teaspoon of ghee and roast the raisins for a few seconds until slightly plump. Remove and set aside.

Cook the Kheer

In a medium saucepan, bring the milk to a simmer over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Add the soaked and softened sabudana to the simmering milk. Stir gently and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the sabudana is cooked through and the kheer has slightly thickened.
Stir in the sugar and cardamom powder. Continue to simmer for another minute, stirring gently.

Finish and Serve

Remove from heat and gently stir in the roasted cashews and raisins. Let the kheer cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or chilled.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Sabudana Kheer

Soaking is Key: Soaking the sabudana for the recommended time is crucial for achieving the desired soft texture. If not soaked properly, the pearls may remain hard.
Gentle Cooking: Avoid overcooking the sabudana, as it can become mushy. Cook it just until it's tender and translucent.
Sweetness Adjustment: Adjust the amount of sugar according to your preference. You can also use jaggery or other sweeteners instead of granulated sugar.
Garnish Generously: Don't be shy with the cashews and raisins! Their contrasting textures and flavors add another layer of deliciousness to the kheer.
