1/3 cup tapioca (sabudana, sago)

3 cups milk

3 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon sliced pistachios

Few strands of saffron

1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder

• Wash and soak the tapioca in about 1/3 cups of water for at least two hour, Sabudana will soak up most of the water and become light and fluffy.
  
  
• Boil the milk in heavy bottom pan after milk comes to boil let it boil for about another 8 to 10 minutes making sure stirring occasionally so milk does not burn in bottom of the pan.
  
  
• Add the tapioca cook until tapioca is soft and has become translucent this should take about 4 minutes.
  
  
• Next add sugar, cardamom, pistachios, and saffron and boil for 2 to 3 minutes. Turn off the heat. As kheer will cool become little thicker in consistency.
