    Quick and super delicious Saggubiyyam Payasam Popsicles or Sago pops to get through the hot summer! Make the best use of your leftover desserts to turn them into Sago Pops!

    Sago Pops

    So, I made a simple yet slightly elaborative spread for Tamil New Year lunch yesterday and for the dessert, I initially planned on making Saggubiyyam/Javvarisi Payasam – something my mom made for me growing up. When the husband walked home with big juicy mangoes, I quickly changed my decision to make Mango Sago Kheer 🙂 But then, I had some left over milky, creamy and delicious payasam that I decided to convert them into Saggubiyyam Payasam Popsicles.

    Saggubiyyam Payasam Ice

    It was purely a decision I made on the spot, when there was an overflowing bowl of javvarisi/saggubiyyam payasam. I usually plan my recipes for the blog carefully and click step-wise pictures. But these Saggubiyyam Payasam Popsicles were so impulsive that I don’t have any preparation work pictures to share. But given how delicious and creamy and so full of texture that these Sago pops have turned, I am sure going to make them again soon!

    Javvarisi Ice

    I used Nylon Sago that are tiny and are silky smooth when cooked. It hardly takes 10-12 mins to cook them on an open pot. To make Saggubiyyam Payasam, I just cook the Sago until they are transparent. Add sugar and once cooled down, I add milk. Cashews and raisins roasted in ghee make this payasam super delicious. And of course, the flavor of cardamom! As Sago by itself is very starchy, the Saggubiyyam Payasam Popsicles turned really creamy and delicious.

    I have heard stories about Semiya Ice from my parents, reminiscing their childhood days and today when my dad had his share of Saggubiyyam Payasam Popsicles, he said that it was just like the ones he tasted when he was a kid 🙂 What more validation do I need?! You can add any additional flavors like – mango puree, badam milk, saffron or even semiya to turn this furthermore exciting too 🙂
