Chowari/Sago Pearls Payasam- Easy Large Pearl Tapioca Pearls Pudding



Chowari/ Sago Pearls Payasam/ Pudding

Payasam is very important for Onam Sadhya. It is a delightful treat/ dessert served at the end of the Sadhya/ feast. Today's payasam/pudding is sugary, creamy rich, a dessert made with lots of milk. I think few could resist a warm bowl of payasam to end a  hearty meal. 

If you like pal payasam and semiya payasam, you will surely love this payasam too. The payasam has milk and chowari/sago pearls/ tapioca pearls. Have you tried making desserts with sago pearls? They are soft and delicate with a slightly chewy texture and helps thicken puddings. These beautiful white pearls are a must-have in my pantry. I use them for breakfast, snacks, salads, and desserts. The payasam is easy to make and truly delectable. It is perfect for any festive occasion.

 

Chowari payasam is gently laced with the flavor of ghee and cardamom. Cashew nuts and raisins and fried in ghee/ clarified butter and used as a garnish. The trick to make a perfect sago payasam is to boil milk and sugar till the milk is reduced, to a creamy consistency. 
 
Sago turns translucent when cooked and also helps to thicken up puddings. So it would be better to keep a thin consistency while cooking, as it will thicken as it cools down. It helps in giving the payasam a thick, creamy texture. It is a sure treat for all those with a sweet tooth. It has a richness and unique taste that is magical! Get your ingredients together and try this recipe, you will surely love it.
