If you love traditional Indian desserts, try this Sabudana Kheer Recipe. It tastes creamy, rich, and delicious. You can easily make it at home.

Start by washing the sabudana with clean water. Next, soak it for 2 to 3 hours. This step helps the pearls become soft.

Pour about 500 ml of milk into a pan. Bring the milk to a boil. Next, add the soaked sabudana.

Cook the sabudana for about two minutes. Stir it regularly to prevent sticking. Then, add sugar according to your taste.

Mix everything well and continue cooking. After two minutes, add the roasted cashews. Next, add the almonds and makhana.

Now, add some crushed cardamom. Cardamom gives the kheer a wonderful aroma. Mix all the ingredients well.

Lower the heat and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir the kheer occasionally. Soon, it will develop a creamy texture.

Turn off the heat when you reach the desired consistency. Your creamy Sabudana Kheer Recipe is now ready.

Sabudana Kheer for Indian Fasting

Sabudana Kheer also makes a popular fasting dish in India. Many people include sabudana in their vrat meals.

During Navratri Vrat, you can enjoy this creamy kheer as a sweet dish. It can also make a delicious option for Maha Shivratri fasting.

Many families prepare sabudana dishes during Janmashtami Vrat. Sabudana also forms part of many Ekadashi fasting meals.

However, fasting rules vary by family and region. Therefore, always follow the rules of your particular vrat.

For a vrat-friendly version, choose ingredients allowed during your fast. People commonly use milk, sabudana, makhana, sugar, and dry fruits.

How to Serve Sabudana Kheer

Serve the kheer warm for a comforting dessert. For a chilled version, refrigerate it before serving.

Keep in mind that the kheer thickens after cooling. Add a little milk if it becomes too thick.

Finally, garnish it with chopped nuts. This adds extra texture and makes the kheer more appealing.
