Sorakaya payasam with Dates

Ingredients:

Milk : 4 cups or 1 litre (I used skim milk)

Sago or Saggubiyyam : 1/2 cup (I used rice cup)

Sugar : 4 tbsp

Rice : 1/2 cup cooked

Dates : 20 -30 

Sorakaya : 1/2 grated (Use fresh sorakaya for this one otherwise you will not like the taste)

Elachi powder : 1/2 tbsp

Raisins: To decorate optional (I used chopped dates for decoration)

Method:

Soak sago for about an atleast an hour.

Heat oil in a heavy bottomed vessel on medium heat and add grated sorakaya to it. Let it fry for about 10 minutes. 

Then add milk to the vessel and let the milk come to boil. 

Meanwhile take the dates and add little bit of milk to them and grind them to a smooth paste.

Now add sago, sugar and the dates paste to the milk and keep stirring untill you see that the sago is cooked. 

Now add the cooked rice, stir and let it cook for about 10 minutes. 

Remove from heat and decorate with raisins or whatever you want.
