If there’s one dessert that can instantly bring back memories of festive times or the comforting scent of your mom’s kitchen, it’s got to be sabudana kheer. This velvety pudding, made with tapioca pearls cooked in milk, sweetened with sugar, and spiced with cardamom, is the epitome of comfort food. While it’s a favourite during Indian fasts (vrat), you really don’t need a special event to enjoy it. With its creamy texture, delightful aroma, and those chewy, translucent pearls, this kheer feels like a warm hug in a bowl.
