Seeme Akki Payasa is one of the festival recipes. Tapioca pearls, also known as boba or Seeme Akki Sago, sabbakki, saggubiyyam are produced by passing the moist starch through a sieve under pressure. Pearl tapioca is a common ingredient in Asian desserts and in sweet drinks, where they provide a chewy contrast to the sweetness and texture of the drink. We use this pearls to make delicious dessert – Payasa / Kheer . There are several different ways this payasam can be prepared, I am sharing my mother’s recipe here. She uses the fried pearls to make the payasam.
Karjura/Dates are the best iron rich dry fruit. Using dates we have Dates Ladoo, and here is another healthy recipe Kheer/Payasa. India has lots of festivals and we will prepare the Payasam to offer to god. Making varieties of kheer will be more interesting eat and to even prepare. This Kharjur payasa is an addition to others like Gasagase payasa, Shavige Payasa, Jackfruit payasa..
