    Sagubiyam or Sago or sabudan, is something that Amma makes a payasam very frequently. I have never cooked with it. All the time, it has always been Amma who makes a payasam with it. I always love to chew on the sago while eating the payasam.

    Will the picture may not be so classic, maybe I will cook it. I am not very keen on sweets, so this payasam with lots of childhood memories makes it a fitting one!

    Ingredients Needed:

    Sago - 1 cup
    Milk - 2 & 1/2 cup
    Sugar 0 1 & 1/2 cup
    Cardamom a pinch
    Nuts for garnish.
    Water - 1 cup

    Method to prepare:

    Wash and boil the sago in water. Drain. Then heat a thick bottom pan with milk, When it boils up, add sugar. Allow it to melt.

    Once it's all melted, add the cooked sago. Simmer for 15 mins. Add cardamom and remove after 5 mins.

    Serve hot!

      My mom used to make this when we used to be ill ... so have never liked sabudana ... unless made as a khichdi. 🙂

      This is one simple foolproof method to cook sago,the khicdi and sabudana wadas do not always come out well.My father loves this KHEER more than the usual vermicilli kheer.So this kheer made me nostalgic too(gr8 mind thinks alike he he he)

      Your sabudana payasam looks perfect!

      My son loves this, but I don't! Sabudana is like that - some love it because the way it feels, and for the same reason some do not!!

      Great job with the marathon. I am breathless for you!!
      I've always loved sago payasam, only, I never dared tried to make it as I was sure it would turn into a slimy mess. Perhaps I should just go ahead and do it.
