Saggubiyyam Payasam or Javvarisi Payasam is a creamy and delicious South Indian dessert or kheer. This payasam is prepared with sago pearls or tapioca pearls and very famous across India. This kheer is also known as Sabbakki Payasa in Kannada. There are a couple of methods to make this payasam and I am posting the simple one – without soaking the sago / sabudana. You can make this dessert in no time as there is no soaking required. We usually make this dish as Naivedyam during festivals.

Hi Hari,
I am so happy to see this post. We have tried using the white sago and it always becomes like a kanji and all the sago dissolves in the water. I have chucked many packets of the sago down the drain. I will try your method of modulating the heat in the preparation process and see if I can make sago payasam. Thanks for sharing.
