Odia Sabu Dana Khiri

Ingredients

• Moti sago – ½ cup
• Milk – 3 cups
• Water – 1½ cups
• Sugar – ½ cup
• Cardamom – ¼ tsp
• Cashews and raisins – 2 tbsp
• Ghee – 1 tsp

Method

1. Rinse the sago well and soak 20–30 minutes if the pearls are firm.
2. Cook in water over medium-low heat until the pearls are soft through the centre.
3. Add warm milk and simmer gently, stirring often.
4. Add sugar only after the sago is fully tender.
5. Keep the khiri slightly loose because it thickens as it cools.
6. Finish with cardamom and ghee-roasted nuts and raisins.
