Sago kheer or sabudana kheer is one of the most common kheer in any Indian household, and I would say its one of the easiest as well.
Sago pearls are also known as Tapioca pearls is used in savoury dishes also like Sabudana Vada and Sabudana khichdi.

Those tiny translucent white pearls look so pretty in sweet thicken creamy milk.
It is a gluten-free dessert and can easily made vegan by substituting milk with almond milk or coconut milk.

Wash and soak sago for 2 hours. The water level must be up to the level of sago don’t put extra water.
Sago will become soft and double in size.
Add milk in the heavy bottom pan and bring it to boil, once it starts to boil simmer for 5-7 minutes.
Keep stirring to prevent burning at the bottom.
Add soaked sago pearls in the milk and let it cook over medium heat stirring occasionally.
After 15-20 minutes sago pearls will turn translucent when it’s cooked.
