    1 cup sabudana

    Soak the sabudana in water for 15 minutes.

    Boil milk with the sugar and cardamoms and add the sabudana after draining the water.

    Boil until the sabudana becomes swollen and translucent.

    Soak saffron flakes in a cup of cold milk for 10 minutes.

  15. What.. with ice-cream? what are you doing to my diet? I've never had it with ice-cream & now im making it for Eid, so I'll serve it with Icecream. I usually put toasted coconut flakes on it, & eat it piping hot. Once when I went to a wedding they served it with boiled eggs. It was a bit different, but tasty.
