Instructions
-
Soak the Sabudana
- Begin by washing and soaking the nylon sabudana in water for about 20 minutes. This will help soften the pearls, ensuring they cook evenly.
-
-
Cook the Sabudana
- In a pressure cooker, add the drained sabudana, along with 1/2 cup of water and 1/2 cup of milk. Secure the lid and pressure cook on medium heat for 3 whistles.
- Turn off the heat and let the pressure release naturally, which will ensure the sabudana is fully cooked without overcooking.
-
Add Sugar and Remaining Milk
- Once the pressure has released, open the lid and stir in the sugar and the remaining 1 cup of milk. The sugar should dissolve easily with the residual heat, creating a sweet base for the kheer.
- Stir in the cardamom powder, mixing everything well, and observe the sabudana kheer’s consistency—it should be thick but smooth.
-
Chill the Kheer
- Transfer the kheer to a bowl and refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours. The kheer will continue to thicken as it cools, so feel free to add a splash of extra milk or cream if it becomes too dense.
-
Prepare the Mango Puree
- While the kheer is chilling, peel the mangoes and gently mash them with your palms to create a chunky, fresh mango puree. This rustic technique preserves the mango’s texture and flavor, enhancing each bite.
-
Assemble the Mango Sago Kheer
- To serve, layer the chilled sabudana kheer into dessert glasses or shot glasses. Spoon in a portion of the chunky mango puree, swirling it gently to create a marble effect.
- Garnish with slivered almonds for a delightful crunch and a beautiful presentation.
-
Serving Suggestions
