Javvarisi Payasam – Sabudana Kheer – Tapioca pearl pudding recipe.
When I was young, this was the only payasam I would eat. The texture of the Javvarisi/tapioca pearls was something i loved and still do. The soft and yet firm Javvarisi pearls coated with reduced milk is truly a treat. This payasam is a must during festival times and my grandmother would eat this payasam with appalam/poppadum. the salty sweet thing was something she really liked. Here is how to do a very simple Javvarisi Payasam.

Wash the Javvarisi in running water for two to three times. Soak the washed Javvarisi in water and set aside. Let it soak for atleast one hour. The Javvarisi pearls would absorb the water and double in volume. After an hour. Drain the water. Set aside.

Boil 500 ml of milk with the soaked and drained Javvarisi for 15-20 minutes on low flame stirring once in a while so it does not scorch at the bottom. After 15 minutes, taste the Javvarisi. It should be soft yet firm. If its still hard, let it boil for another 5 minutes. The mixture would also have become thick by now. If its very thick dilute with some milk if required.

Add in half a cup of sugar and let it boil for 2-3 minutes. Add in the sugar only after the Javvarisi has fully cooked. Switch off the flame and add in powdered cardamom. I like to grind the cardamom in a mortar and a pestle. Add in a pinch of salt. Mix well to combine. Set aside.

Heat a small pan and add in the ghee. Add in the broken cashew nuts and fry on a low flame. When the nuts are slightly brown, add in the raisins and wait for the raisins to plump up. Switch off the flame and add it to the payasam. Mix well to combine.

Payasam is ready. I like to serve this payasam a little warm.
