It is probably the most common type of sweet and delicious food served on fasting days. However, one does not need to be on fast to enjoy it!! As name suggests this traditional Indian sweet is made from small size sago pearls. This sabudana kheer recipe is one of the easiest Indian dessert recipes and can be prepared in less time.
