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!
