Sabudana Kheer Recipe, How to make Sabudana Kheer for Fasting

July 9, 2015 by Gopi Patel Leave a Comment

Sabudana kheer recipe with step by step pictures – A delicious Indian sweet made during festivals and vrat/fasting. The key ingredient in this vrat ki kheer and many other fasting recipes is sabudana or tapioca. The name tapioca comes from tipi’óka which starts with Tupi. Tupi means the process by which starch is made. Tapioca’ in Britain often refers to a milk pudding thickened with arrowroot.

Sabudana is made from tapioca root also known as cassava. It is also known as sago in many languages. In Tamil it is called as Javvarisi, in Telugu sagubiyyam, in Kannada sabakki and in Hindi, Gujarati and Marathi known as sabudana. Sabudana is used in making kheer, prorridge, khichdi and vada.

Coming back  to the recipe, this simple sabudana kheer recipe needs very few ingredients. It can be made in no time and served during festive season.

Some tips to make perfect Sabudana Kheer:

  1. Sabudana comes in different varities. The smaller one take lesser time for soaking so soak the smaller sabudana just for 15-20 minutes. The larger sago needs around 4 hours to get tender.
  2. If you like the kheer to be rich and creamy, use full-fat milk. If a little health consicious then use regular milk or even skimmed milk.
  3. Soak sabudana in enough water so that it absorbes and becomes soft.
  4. Sabudana Kheer or Tapioca Pearls Pudding becomes thick as the sago pearls absorb all water and milk as it cools down. So if you prefer your Kheer to be little runny, add little more milk and gently heat it for a while.
  5. Jaggery also can be used in place of sugar.
