STRAWBERRY SABUDANA KHEER /STRAWBERRY SAGO PEARLS PUDDING

Strawberry Sabudana Kheer | Strawberry Sago Pearls Pudding

Kheer is one of the most famous and loved desserts in India.
We generally make Sabudana kheer during the Navratri festival or during some of the fasting or vrat days. This is a popular Indian pudding that is made with tapioca pearls for religious fasting days.

Sabudana kheer gets a fruity twist by addition of a strawberry topping. The strawberry not only gives a beautiful colour but also an enhancement in taste.I simply loved this kheer and saved some for the next day too.

The Sabudana kheer naturally thickness after cooling, so keep in mind the consistency you want in case you want to serve it cold.
