Yesterday was Ekadasi and this offering to Krishna (we haven't used tapioca in a long time) came out so good, we hope to recall how it wentINGREDIENTS:
- 1 c pearl tapioca (sabudana), soaked about 30 minutes
- 4 c whole milk
- 1/4 c sugar
- 3 cardamom pods, seeds and ground
- a handful of cashews, toasted in 1 T ghee
PREPARATION:
- Bring milk, sugar and cardamom to a boil
- Drain and stir in the soaked tapioca and bring to a boil again
- Lower the heat to a gentle boil and let cook about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally , until thick. That means you can see the tapioca. In other words, it’s no longer at the bottom of the pot and the spoon is getting nicely coated with thickened milk.
- Turn off the heat and it will continue to thicken asit cools.
- If you want to speed up the cooling process, then place the pot in a pan full of water cold water.
- When it’s cool enough for offering, stir in the cashews
