Ingredients

• Milk – 5 cups
• China Grass (Agar Agar) – 5 grams

• Sago(javarishi / sabudana) – 1 small cup soaked in water for 2–3 hours

Method

• Boil the milk in a saucepan, till it turns slightly pink.
• In case you are using milkmaid then check for sugar, if you need more sweet you can add sugar to taste and stir until it dissolves and when the milk turns slightly pink, switch off the gas.
• Allow it to come to room temperature and then refrigerate it.
• Take some hot milk (from the milk we boiled with sugar/ milkmaid) from the saucepan and add in another vessel, Add the sago to this milk and cook till the sago becomes transparent.
• Switch off the gas.
• Keep this separately and refrigerate it.
• Prepare the Agar Agar Jelly and keep the cubes ready accordingly.

Serving Instructions

• Take a tall glass tumbler, pour one ladle of the cool milk with the sago, ensuring that there is enough sago at the bottom of your glass.
• Add 1 tablespoon of the Agar Agar (China Grass) jelly that u have cut into cubes and kept.

• Now pour the boiled cool milk on top of all this leaving just quarter of a space in the tumbler.
