  • Boil the milk in heavy bottom pan after milk comes to boil let it boil for about another 8 to 10 minutes making sure stirring occasionally so milk does not burn in bottom of the pan.
  • Add the tapioca cook until tapioca is soft and has become translucent this should take about 4 minutes.
  • Next add sugar, cardamom, pistachios, and saffron and boil for 2 to 3 minutes. Turn off the heat. As kheer will cool become little thicker in consistency.
  • Kheer can be served chilled or warm.

    My tapioca absorbed the water fully in about 20 min. Should I add more?

    1. Manjula Jain

      Sarah, may be little more not much

    Hi there, I’ve tried lots of your recipes and they’ve turned out great. This one tasted good, but the tapioca wasn’t cooked. I followed the directions exactly, even cooking it a little extra. It’s one of my husband’s favorite desserts, so I’d really like to be able to make it for him. Any suggestions?

    1. Manjula Jain

      Lois, soak the sabudana for 5-6 hours

    Hi,

    Thanks for the recipe. Mine did not turn out as yours, though tasted excellent. After I added sabudana, my milk curdled.

    What did I do wrong? I did put the soaked sago in hot milk. I kept stirring too.

    Also my sabudana is very powdery. As I washed a lot of powder came, which I drained and then I have to wash the soaked sabudana too, as there was a lot more white powder again. I ended up with very little puffy sabudana compared to the amount I soaked. Is there a difference in sago?

    Greetings~ I found your site while looking for how to make tapioca pudding after yesterday when I tried to make tapioca following recipe on back of package of tapioca which failed miserably (it turned into giant blob of goo).
    So, today I will try yours and also your site is so helpful and easy to use, so thank you for posting like this, I will definately try some of your other recipes. The video is very helpful for a young person like me with no reference for how it should look in reality! ; ) Regards~
