Sabudana (Sago) Delight

Sabudana (sago) delight is a healthy, simple and delicious dessert and a creative recipe made with sago, milk, sugar, nuts and fruits. First I made Sabudana kheer , then added heavy cream and fruits to it.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup Sabudana (Sago)
• 4 cups whole milk
• 3/4 cup sugar
• pinch of saffron
• 1/2 teaspoon Cardamom Powder
• 1 tablespoon broken cashew nuts
• 1 tablespoon raising
• 1 tablespoon almonds blanched
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• few drops rose essence (optional)
• 3-4 strawberries cut into pieces
• 1/2 mango cut into pieces

Method:

1. Wash the Sabudana (Sago) and soak in one cup of milk for at least 30 minutes.
2. Boil the remaining milk in a heavy bottom pan and add soaked Sabudana (sago).
3. Stir the milk and sabudana and cook it on medium flame till sago turns soft.
4. Add sugar, saffron and cardamom powder when sabudana mixture get reduced to half in quantity.
5. Cook it for 2-3 minutes by continuously stirring, add cashew nuts, almonds and raisins and mix well.
6. Let it cool down completely then add half cup heavy cream, rose essence and fruits of your choice (strawberry, mango, litchi, etc).
7. Mix well, chill and serve.

Note: Use whole milk while making this Sago delights. As Sago pearls absorb the milk,the Sago Pudding becomes thick as it cools down. So add heavy cream to it for a little runny.
