Sabudana Kheer (Tapioca Pudding)
Sabudana kheer is a gourmet dessert. Kheer is lightly flavored with cardamom and saffron. This is a quick & easy recipe to make.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup tapioca (sabudana, sago)
- 3 cups milk
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon sliced pistachios
- Few strands of saffron
- 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
Instructions
Method
- Wash and soak the tapioca in about 1/3 cups of water for at least two hour, Sabudana will soak up most of the water and become light and fluffy.
- 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.

May 12, 2018 at 2:37 pmMy tapioca absorbed the water fully in about 20 min. Should I add more?

March 31, 2018 at 6:24 pmHi 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?

October 12, 2011 at 7:30 amHi,
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?

February 8, 2011 at 4:22 pmGreetings~ 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~
