#bandhan - Sago Kheer is a very common dessert in every festivals and special occasions at home or outside. It must be quite boring to have the same type of dessert time and again. So why not try this unusual dessert? It has custard and sago in it along with some crushed peanut chikki for a slight crunch and few jalebis as garnish. There is a bite to every spoonful of this delicious dessert. It is also very appealing and appetizing too.
