Apple N Sago Kheer

Kheer is a dessert based with milk, sugar and with rice, vermicelli, tapioca pearls etc, usually while its a new year or any other indian festivals, we Indians used to offer God a simple kheer or paayasam, today for Tamil New year i prepared this milk based apple and sago kheer with masal vadai. Simple kheer with finely chopped apple pieces and cooked sago with saffron, this kheer tastes really very delicious and yummy, everyone at home relished this delicious kheer.

2cups Apples pieces(golden)
1/2cup Sago/tapioca pearls
2cups Milk
1cup Sweetned condensed milk
2pinch Saffron strands
10nos Cashew pieces + pistachio pieces
1tsp Cardamom powder
1tsp Ghee

Cook the sago pearls in pan with hot water until they turns half cooked, drain the cooked sago n keep aside...heat the milk in heavy bottomed pan, once they starts boiling add the apple pieces and sago, keep the flame in simmer and cook until the apple pieces get well cooked, now add the condensed milk, saffron strands to the cooked apple pieces,stir for a while... as we are adding condensed milk, its doesnt need sugar at all coz the condensed milk are very much sweetened, in case if u dont have condensed milk add sugar to ur kheer...

Fry the cashew nuts with a tsp of ghee until they get roasted...add the ghee,cardamom powder and roasted cashew nuts to the apple kheer; cook for few minutes and put off the stove..garnish the kheer with pistachio pieces...

Serve hot r cold!!!
