Cooking instructions

* Step 1

To make the Doodhi Sabudana Kheer, first wash the sabudana thoroughly under running water, till all the white powdery stuff stuck to it is washed away.

* Step 2

Soak it in sufficient water, i.e. water should be upto the level of the sabudana, for about 2 to 2 1/2 hours.

* Step 3

Just before making the kheer, peel and grate the doodhi and immerse it in clean water.

* Step 4

Heat a saucepan and add the ghee to it.

* Step 5

Drain the grated doodhi and squeeze it well. Add it to the hot ghee and saute for about 2-3 minutes.

* Step 6

Add the milk and stir. Bring to a boil on high flame and then reduce the heat.

* Step 7

Add the soaked tapioca, which should have doubled by now, to the milk and stir.

* Step 8

Again increase the flame and stir.

* Step 9

As soon as it starts boiling, reduce the flame and add the sugar, saffron, cardamom powder, the chopped dry fruits and the raisins to it.

* Step 10

Stir well, and let the sugar melt. Let this simmer on low heat for about 6-8 minutes. During this time, keep a spoon in the saucepan so that the milk doesn’t spill over while the kheer is simmering.
