JAVARISI PAYASAM | SABUDANA KHEER

(WITH EVAPORATED MILK)

       When it comes to kheer i always love the vermicelli kheer and the one with sago i never had before marriage as i always consider sago with milk combo will be like a porridge. As my hubby is a big fan of sago i make this more frequently and i started loving the kheer now a days.

I thank all my friends who wished my son for his birthday in my Previous post.

Note:

  • Condensed milk also can be added and in that case do not add sugar.
  • Do not reduce the boil the milk for a long time. The sago will absorb the milk and when the kheer becomes cool. So it will be thickened.
  • The same kheer can be made with vermicelli also.
