Sago recipes?

I would like to know how to make sago porridge

Sago recipes?
SABBARISI PAYASAM:





Ingredients required





1. sago 25 gm


2. ghee 4 table spoons


3. milk 500 gm


4. sugar 150 gm


5. cashew nut 25 gm


6. cardamom 10 gm








Procedure





Prepare for the garnishing. Powder the cardamom after removing the outer skin. Grind the inner black granules to a fine powder and keep aside.





Roast the cashew nuts in ghee. Take three spoons of ghee and cashew nuts in a pan and roast them on slow fire. When they turn golden brown remove them from the ghee and keep aside.





Prepare the dessert. Roast sago in the same ghee. Cook it in half a glass of water. After it is cooked add milk and sugar and let it boil. Usually only cashew nuts and cardamom powder are added to this Pāyasam. Cover it and keep it aside for 5 mts.





Now the delicious dessert, Sabbarisi Pāyasam, is ready to serve.
Reply:The recipes here I post are dessert recipes, sago is very sticky and soft when cooked, we (my family) like to have a very smooth porridge so we mostly mix it with soft ingredients like red bean soup (boil 2 hours). Malaysian dessert "Jar Jar" (spelling?) is a mix of green bean / red bean / yam / coconut milk %26amp; cream / shredded dried coconut / sago / kidney bean (all boiled till soft) and sago sweet porridge that can be serve hot or cold, its texture is complicated, with the different sizes and texture of the beans, some chewy, some soft plus the aroma of the coconut milk, it tastes real good, and it is one of my favourite desserts.
