Add the sabudana (sago pearls) to the boiling water.
1 cup Sabudana
Cook until translucent, about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once cooked, drain the hot water using a sieve or colander.

Set aside the cooked sabudana to cool completely.
Prepare Milk Syrup:
In a medium pot, add 2 cups of milk.

Stir in 1/3 cup milk powder to enrich and thicken the milk.
1/3 cup Milk Powder
Add 3 tablespoons sugar or adjust to your taste.
3 tbsp Sugar
Cook on medium-high for 15 minutes until thickened, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Once the milk has reduced slightly and thickened, remove from heat.
Allow the milk syrup to cool completely. Refrigerate to speed up cooling if desired.
Prepare Fruits:
Chop the banana and apple into small, bite-sized pieces.
1 Banana, 1 Apple
Halve the grapes. Using different colored grapes adds a colorful touch.

Combine Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, add the cooked and cooled sabudana.
Add the chopped fruits to the sabudana.
Pour the cooled milk syrup over the sabudana and fruits.

- Adjust Sweetness: Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar or use a natural sweetener like honey or agave syrup.
- Fruit Variations: While banana is recommended for its creaminess, you can substitute or add other fruits like mangoes, strawberries, or peaches.
- Milk Alternatives: For a dairy-free option, use almond milk or coconut milk along with a dairy-free milk powder or skip the milk powder.
- Enhanced Flavor: Add a pinch of cardamom powder or a few drops of vanilla extract to the milk syrup for additional flavor.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve in transparent glasses to showcase the colorful layers of fruits and sabudana.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 1-2 days for best freshness.
