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 moreπ!)
chopped cashew nuts 10
half tsp ghee
2 cups water
A few strands of saffron (optional)
