When the milk has reduced and become thick, drain the soaked sabudana and put them in the milk. Stir with a gentle hand. Allow them to boil on low heating for between 15-20 minutes. Stir with love and smile and watch the sabudana turn translucent and let the Madhsudan milk flow into a creamy embrace. Truly a sabudana kheer navratri special recipe moment.  

Step. 4- Sweetening the Soul: 

When the sabudana has been thoroughly cooked and softened. It now needs the blessing of sweetness. The heat should be turned to the lowest.
