Now that summer has set in, various types of exotic fruits have arrived in the market. One such fruit is Mango. Mango is the king of fruits and nothing beats the taste of Alphonso Mango. Mangoes can be eaten in any form. Add it to your curries and make them more delicious or whip it into a refreshing milkshake.

I love to experiment with food, especially with the seasonal produce. It was my parents wedding anniversary. I made sabudana kheer. Dad got home 2 kgs of alphonso mangoes. I gave a twist to the regular sabudana kheer by adding chopped alphonso mangoes to it and made it healthier by topping it with chia seeds.

So isn’t it a low calorie and a healthy dessert? Serve it chilled. This dessert is perfect to beat the summer heat. So did you like this foodventure? ? Giving a twist to the regular dessert is a foodventure. To know more about a foodventure, check the following video.

Ingredients:                       Prep. Time: 45 Minutes, Serves:4
500 ml milk
1 cup sabudana/sago/Tapioca Pearls
4 tablespoon sugar
5-10 cashew nuts
3-4 Almonds
1 tsp elaichi powder/5-6 cardamom pods
1 mango, peeled and cubed
1 tablespoon chia seeds
A pinch of salt

Procedure:
1) For making this kheer/payasam keep everything ready.
Soak chia seeds in 1 tablespoon water for 30 minutes.
Wash the sabudana, drain the water and keep aside for 30 minutes.
2) Crush the dry fruits – cashewnuts and almonds and microwave them in 1/2 cup water for 1 minute. This ensures that the dry fruits become soft.
If you don’t have a microwave, boil the crushed dry fruits in 1/2 cup water for 10 minutes. Switch off the gas/heat and let the dry fruits remain in hot water.
3) If you do not have elaichi powder, crush the elaichi pods and powder the elaichi seeds using a mortar and pestle.
4) Add sabudana to ¼ cup water and let it get cooked. It will look like pearls after boiling.
5) Then add the milk to the pan with boiled sabudana pearls.
6) After milk gets boiled add sugar and mix well.
7) Add elaichi powder and dry fruits, mix and switch off the gas.
8) After kheer completely cools down, add chopped mango cubes and top it with soaked chia seeds.
Note: You can increase/decrease the sugar quantity as per your taste. You can add a few strands of saffron to add more taste and little color too.
Serve the dessert chilled. You might be wondering how this dessert will taste when mangoes are added to it and which is topped with chia seeds. Believe me, it tasted yummy. My Dad loved it. Mom said that it is a great idea to add fruits to regular desserts and to give it a twist. This foodventure was a success in my kitchen. You too have some foodventures?
