Ingredients

  • ½ cup sabudana tapioca pearls
  • 4 cups water
  • 2 – 3 drops pink food color
  • cups milk
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 4 tsp agar agar powder

Instructions

  • For this sabudana pudding recipe, start by taking ½ cup of sabudana in a bowl and give it a good rinse to wash off any extra starch.
  • Soak it in water for about 5 minutes—just enough to soften it slightly—then drain it well.
  • Boil 4 cups of water in a saucepan and add the drained sabudana pearls.
  • Drop in a few colorful drops of food color to make your pudding pop!
  • Let it cook on medium heat for around 10–12 minutes, stirring in between, until the sabudana turns beautifully translucent.
  • Once done, strain and set aside your glossy cooked sabudana.
  • Lightly grease your pudding mould with a touch of oil so it unmoulds smoothly later.
  • Now, heat 2½ cups of milk in a clean saucepan.
  • Stir in sugar and agar agar, and bring this creamy mixture to a gentle boil.
  • Add the boiled sabudana and simmer for another 3–5 minutes until it slightly thickens and becomes luscious.
  • Pour the mixture into your greased mould and let it cool.
  • Once it reaches room temperature, refrigerate until it’s perfectly set and jiggly.
  • To unmould, gently run a toothpick around the edges and flip it onto a plate.
  • Serve Tapioca Pudding chilled — soft, silky, and utterly refreshing!
