Tips:
- Make sure to cook sabudana really well, else it will not taste good.
- Adding milk powder to milk is completely optional, it just gives it a rich flavour.
- Saffron can also be added in place of cardamom powder.
- Add or skip any fruit as per your preference, adding more different coloured fruits make it healthy, colourful and attractive.
- I have made this drink for fasting days, so didn't add any tutti-frutti or jelly, but you are free to add if you want.
- Sabudana Fruit Dessert or Sago Fruit Drink tastes great, when served chilled.
