Javvarisi/ Sago Paayasam
Dessert made with milk & sago
Javvarisi paayasam is one of the most easiest desserts. {A little tip - to cook sago faster, wash & soak it in water for 30 minutes. Alternatively, you can cook in a pressure cooker for 3 whistles.}
What you will need
2 tbsp sago
500 ml milk
15 tsp sugar (sweet tooths, add 2 more😄!)
chopped cashew nuts 10
half tsp ghee
2 cups water
A few strands of saffron (optional)
How to cook
1
Roast cashews in ghee till brown. Keep aside. In a tsp of milk add saffron and keep aside.
2
Set water to boil. Add sago. Cook in medium low flame until sago turns transparent/ soft. (If cooked in high flame, the water will evaporate fast leaving sago uncooked.) Sometimes sago might not change color entirely. But becomes soft and jelly like.
3
Add milk to the cooked sago. When the milk heats up, add sugar and saffron mix.
4
Boil until the milk thickens and reduces to 3/4th. Garnish with roasted cashew. Serve warm or cold.
