Sabudana or sago kheer with mixed fruits of choice is a tasty and satiating dessert ideal to have on fasting days in Indian culture. The kheer is made by simmering soaked sabudana in water until the balls turn transparent and are cooked through. They are then simmered in boiling milk until thick and creamy.Sugar or jaggery is added to make the kheer sweet.Chopped nuts and raisins are sautéed in ghee and mixed in this kheer to give it a nutty flavor.Saffron adds a golden hue to this kheer.It is cooled and later fruits of choice like pomegranate, apple etc are mixed together and served chilled as a main course during fasting or as an aftermeal dessert.
