Jump to:
Javvarisi is Tamil term, also known as through several other names like sago, sabudana, tapioca pearls etc.
As the name suggest, it is derived from tapioca pearls. There are two varieties - One is whitish in colour which we get here in Singapore mostly and what I have used here.
Another one is nylon javvarisi, which looks translucent. I don't have much experience handling it.
While making javvarisi payasam with jaggery, there are many chances of curdling. Especially in India, where we get fresh milk.
In Singapore, though milk is named as fresh milk, it have long shelf life. But in India we hardly can use it for a day or two.
So my payasam never get curdled so far. But for safer side, I have given this method which will not curdle.
Use good quality jaggery too. Some have lot of acidic content which may lead to curdling.
I prefer organic jaggery powder than the shaped ones as it has less chemical treatment.
Method
- Soak sago for 2 - 3 hours. This is for easy cooking. Drain the water and bring 3 cups of water to boil in a heavy bottomed vessel.
- Add the soaked sago and cook for 4 - 5 minutes or until the sago is soft from inside.
- TIP: The sago, as it is getting cooked, will have white spot in the middle of it, but do not wait for it to go. Just check the sago if its cooked soft. Add the jaggery and mix well. Add a pinch of salt.
4. Boil in medium flame for 4 minutes. Add powdered cardamom. Set aside and let it cool for 15 to 20 minutes.
5. Boil milk and also cool down simultaneously as the payasam gets cooled down.
Add the milk to the payasam and mix well. Fry cashews in ghee and add it to the payasam and mix well.
Delicious, flavourful javvarisi payasam with jaggery is ready!
Recipe card
Javvarisi payasm recipe
Ingredients
- ½ cup Javvarisi Sago, black pepper sized
- ¾ cup Jaggery
- ½ cup Milk
- 3 cups Water
- Salt a pinch
- 1 Cardamom
- 5 Cashews
- 1 teaspoon Ghee
Instructions
- Soak sago for 2 - 3 hours. This is for easy cooking.
- Bring 3 cups of water to boil in a heavy bottomed vessel.
- Add the soaked sago and cook for 4 - 5 minutes or until the sago is soft from inside.
- TIP: As it is getting cooked, will have white spot in the middle of it, but do not wait for it to go. Just check the sago if its cooked soft by pressing it and test for hard spot.
- Add the jaggery, pinch of salt and mix well.
- Boil in medium flame for 4 minutes.
- Add powdered cardamom. Set aside and let it cool for 15 minutes.
- Boil milk and also cool down simultaneously as the payasam gets cooled down.
- Add the milk to the payasam and mix well. Fry cashews in ghee and add it to the payasam and mix well.
Notes
- You may notice the white spot in the middle of few sago until it cools down. But it will turn transparent like glass as it cools down completely. So dont worry. Just make sure by testing its cooked soft.
- If you over cook, the sago will get dissolved. So be careful.
- The cooking time of sago may vary depending on the size of the sago. So just keep the timings mentioned as guidance.
- Here in Singapore, we get pasteurized and homogeneous milk, so I add it as such in the payasam without boiling. But in India, you may need to boil the milk and cool down before adding.

One thing I want to say pls dont add Jaggery in hot milk it will get curled ,so better to add Jaggery after. Milk get cool down or otherwise add sugar easy no need of milk should cool down .
Kavitha says
I want to make with sugar.. can u tell me the ratio for that...
RAKS KITCHEN says
I think for the given recipe, 1/4 cup + 2 tblsp sugar should be enough...Please check at the end and add accordingly if its not sufficient...
Sudha says
Tried this today morning...substituted elaichi pwd with Everest Milk Masala, the payasam was yummm...perfect proportions. Thank you for the recipe.
pandu says
thanks.. well explained. BPR
Shweta says
I tried this recipe once, but the milk curdled after adding the jaggery syrup, is it necessary to cool the milk before adding jaggery syrup? Pl confirm
RAKS KITCHEN says
Just switch off the flame and add the jaggery syrup, thats enough I think.
jeyashri suresh says
Thanks for the update. Now will try in this way . Nice clicks
Shweta says
We too don't like to add elaichi in this 🙂
Pooja Agrawal says

Hi Raji, just tried this payasam this afternoon for ayutha poojai but with a few variations. I used sugar instead of jaggery and added few strands of saffron for the color. I had always wanted to avoid the kanji effect on the sago payasam ever since i first made it and it was accomplished today. But the outcome was nothing short of a miracle. My husband had fell in love with the color, texture and taste. Thank you so much.
Mythreyi says
Hi Raji, Today I have tried this for Dasara for a festive sweet. I am not good at making festive sweets, for a good start this recipe helped me to get out of that fear. This came out very well ( I have varied some measurements) with perfect texture. Thanks for sharing great recipe.
-Mythreyi
Yum! Yum! Yum!
Niru says
Raji,
