Servings 4 People
Ingredients
- 500 ml milk
- 1 cup sabudana/sago/tapioca pearls
- 4 tablespoon sugar
- 5-10 cashew nuts
- 3-4 almonds
- 1 teaspoon cardamom powder/5-6 cardamom pods
- 1 mango peeled and cubed
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
For making this kheer/payasam keep everything ready:
- Soak chia seeds in 1 tablespoon water for 30 minutes.
- Wash the sabudana or sago, drain the water and keep aside for 30 minutes.
- Crush the dry fruits – cashewnuts and almonds and microwave them in 1/2 cup water for 1 minute. This ensures that the dry fruits become soft.
- If you do not have a microwave, boil the crushed dry fruits in 1/2 cup water for 10 minutes. Switch off the gas/heat and let the dry fruits remain in hot water.
- If you do not have cardamom powder, crush the cardamom pods using a mortar and pestle.
- Add sago to ¼ cup water and let it get cooked. It will look like pearls after boiling.
- Then add the milk to the pan with boiled sabudana pearls.
- After milk gets boiled, add sugar, and mix well.
- Add cardamom powder and dry fruits, mix, and switch off the gas.
- After kheer completely cools down, add chopped mango cubes, and top it with soaked chia seeds.
Notes
You can increase/decrease the sugar quantity as per your taste. You can add a few strands of saffron to add more taste and little color too.
