Cooking Tips

• Soaking the tapioca pearls helps to soften them and reduce the cooking time.
• Stir the payasam frequently to prevent the tapioca pearls from sticking to the bottom of the saucepan.
• You can adjust the amount of sugar according to your taste preference.

Storage and Serving

• Saggubiyyam Payasam can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• Before serving, you may need to add a little milk or water to adjust the consistency as the tapioca pearls tend to absorb liquid over time.
• Serve the payasam in individual bowls or cups, and garnish with chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
