Ingredients

• 1 cup Sabudana (tapioca pearls)
• 4 cups Milk (whole)
• 0.5 cup Sugar
• 4 pieces Cardamom pods (crushed)
• 2 tablespoons Almonds (sliced)
• 2 tablespoons Cashews (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Raisins
• 1 teaspoon Ghee (clarified butter)
• 0.5 teaspoon Saffron strands (optional)
• 1 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Wash the sabudana (tapioca pearls) under cold running water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. Soak them in 1 cup of water for 30 minutes or until soft.

Step 2

Heat 1 teaspoon of ghee in a deep, heavy-bottomed pan on medium heat. Lightly roast the cashews, almonds, and raisins for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and aromatic. Remove and set aside.

Step 3

Add the milk to the same pan and bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.

Step 4

Once the milk starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and add the soaked sabudana, along with any remaining water. Stir well to avoid lumps.

Step 5

Cook the sabudana in the milk on low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently, until the pearls turn translucent and soft. The milk will thicken as it simmers.

Step 6

Add the sugar and crushed cardamom pods, mixing well until the sugar dissolves completely. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the roasted nuts, raisins, and saffron strands (if using). Allow the kheer to cook for another 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors.

Step 8

Turn off the heat and let the kheer cool slightly. It will thicken further as it cools.

Step 9

Serve the sabudana ki kheer warm or chilled, garnished with additional nuts if desired.
