I have endless love towards Kesari Recipes.I tried Sago Kesari today and I was not even sure whether such a recipe existed but still wanted to give a try with my idea.I was looking for some easy Holi recipes and this idea of Sago / Sabudana / Javvarisi Kesari flashed today morning, I put it into execution at once and the kesari came out soo good.This is a very easy sweet that you can make for Holi, rich and tasty sweet that you can make in minutes with easily available ingredients.

There is also another reason for me to post a sweet today. This day 6 years back l started a blog just to record my passions and named it Sharmis Passions.Little did I knew it would become a integral part of me and will be helpful to others too.When I look back, I don’t have regrets, though bumpy at times it had been a great ride all through these 6 yrs.I thoroughly enjoy the process right from getting the ingredients, cooking, arranging, composing a shot, editing and publishing a post to present it to you.

This year had been great with few media mentions, 30 dessert feature in Kungumam Thozhi,a invite from Zone, and one of my dreams come true to have involved in a photoshoot for foodstyling for KR Bakes.
A Biiiiig thanks to my family, all my readers and friends who keep motivating me!

Happy Birthday to Sharmis Passions!
Stepping into the 7th year with all your support and encouragement!!

Sago Kesari

Prep Time5

Cook Time20

Total Time25

Servings2 people

AuthorSharmilee J

Ingredients

1/2 cup sago I used nylon / transparent sago
1 and 1/2 cups water
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoon melted ghee
a tiny pinch cardamom powder
3 to 4 strands saffron optional
a tiny pinch orange food color just
8 cashewnuts broken

Instructions

Rinse sago well twice or thrice. Heat water and cook sago in enough water till immersing level.
When sago gets cooked, it will become slightly bigger in size and will become transparent. Drain and set aside.
Heat ghee in a tadka pan and fry the cashews till golden brown.
Heat ghee in a pan, add cooked sago and sauté for a minute.
Add sugar, now it will start to loosen up…keep stirring continuously. Add food color.
Add saffron and cardamom powder and let it cook for 2mins.
Then add ghee in intervals with constant stirring.
Once it starts to get thick add another teaspoon ghee, once it starts to leave the sides of the pan add cashews and switch off.
Serve Sago Kesari hot / warm!

Notes

I used nylon sago if you are using the usual white sago variety then soak it overnight and then cook it.
You can also add your favorite essence too but I love the plain cardamom flavour the best.
If you like cardamom flavour more, just skip saffron and add a generous pinch of cardamom powder.
Sago kesari doesn’t require much ghee like the other kesari recipes.
This keeps well for 2 days if refrigerated after a day. And while serving just heat it up and drizzle little ghee and serve.
