Sabudana sweet/Dessert/ Sago Food/No milk recipe.
Wash and rinse sabudana nicely with water by rubbing then lightly using hands 🙌 Drain out the water left after washing. Fill in the clean water and let these soak overnight or for more time. Also, if soaking for more than 24 hours keep these refrigerated and soaked in water and later you may use them. Strain and discard the water in which these have been soaked and rinse them nicely 2 to 3 times with clean water. Leave Sabudana in the strainer to drain out any excess water that will drip out too. Into a frying pan warm up 2 teaspoons of ghee I.e Clarified Butter 🧈 and add 3 cups of soaked and drained Sabudana into it. Stir and cook keeping the flame at low. Gradually you will see the color of the granules starts to get translucent and looks fluffy. This is when it means these have started cooking. At this point add sugar 1 and 1/2 cups, desiccated coconut 🥥 1/2 a cup, and 1/2 a teaspoon of cardamom powder. Slowly mix these and continue cooking further. Sugar melts and the mixture starts to look sticky. Now add some orange food coloring by mixing into some water say around 1 tablespoon of water. Add and mix. After you have mixed the color add 1 teaspoon of roasted- or sautéed pumpkin seeds into it and mix. Cook until the mixture looks mushy and the granules absorb the color completely and get well cooked. The granules must look soft and fluffy at this point. Note: For bigger Sabudana granules it is important to cook and make the mixture mushy and soft. Once done cooking immediately transfer these into a container that has parchment paper placed at the bottom, to avoid sticking. Sprinkle some pumpkin seeds on the top to decorate. Or you may choose any other dry nuts of choice. Refrigerate sometime. Take it out cut it into desired pieces and enjoy.
