Equipment

1 Pot

Ingredients

½ cup sabudana 80g
3 cup milk
½ cup sugar
¾ tsp cardamom powder

Instructions

Rinsethe sabudana 3-4 times then soak in water (just make sure there is about aninch of water above the sabudana) for 20-30 minutes. Drain well
Heat milk on medium in a pot on stovetop. In about three minutes it will begin to warm and form tiny bubbles.
Add in sabudana and stir. Let heat 1-2 minutes. Mix in between twice.
Add in sugar and mix. Let it heat up about 3 minutes. Mix every 30 seconds.
Add in cardamom and mix. Sabudana should look clear which is a sign they are cooked. Turn off gas and remove pot from stove.
Optionally top with almond pieces / dry fruits and serve. Can be served warm or chilled.

Notes

TIP: Don’t skip on rinsing the sabudana very well. The extra starch should be washed away for creamy kheer.

Making it Vegan

You can easily make this recipe vegan by substituting dairy milk with plant-based milk.

Don’t forget that if you want to make it upvas or vrat friendly you need to be mindful of the type of non-dairy milk you use! Almond milk and cashew milk are likely the safest ones to use during vrat.

Oat milk and pea milk are quite creamy and will give you a thicker kheer but are not good during vrat.
