Ingredients
- 1/3rd cup Sabudana or Sago (Tapioca Pearls)
- 3 cups Milk
- 3 Tbsp Milk powder
- 4 Tsp + 2 Tsp Sugar
- ½ Tsp Vanilla extract/essence
- ½ cup Blueberries
- 1/3rd cup water
- A few Almonds and Pistachios for garnishing
Instructions
- Transfer the Sabudana to a grinder and repeatedly grind the sago till it becomes evenly powdered.
- In a heavy bottomed pan, heat the milk. Keep stirring and boiling it, till it reduces a bit and is 3/4th of its original volume.
- Add the Milk powder and mix it thoroughly into the milk. Next add the Sabudana powder and lightly boil for a minute or two. Now add 4 Tsp sugar and stir well to help it dissolve. Take off from flame and pass it one time through a sieve just to be doubly sure that there are no lumps. Add the vanilla essence to the sabudana -milk mix and pour the mixture into individual serving bowls. Leave it in the freezer for 1 hour or in the refrigerator for 3 -4 hours.
- In the meantime prepare the Blueberries by putting them in a bowl with 1/3rd cup water and 2 Tsp sugar. Simply microwave them at high for 40 to 50 seconds. If no microwave, simply put the blueberries along with the sugar and water in a pan over medium flame and cook for a minute or two, till the blueberries soften and mixes with the sugar syrup.
- Take out the Sabudana phirni bowls half way when they are almost set and add the blueberries to each of the bowls from the top.
- Before serving garnish with sliced almonds and chopped pistachios.
