Javvarisi Payasam (Sago sweet)

Javvarisi Payasam (Sago sweet) - preparation time 25 to 30 mins
When mom used to make this payasam. The payasam looks very beautiful. She used to add kesari colour to this payasam so it will be like orange beads floating. We both (myself and my brother) don't like sweet so we don't even taste during childhood. Now I am tasting and preparing for my husband :-)

If you want the payasam to be white don't add kesari colour.

Ingredients:- 

Sago (small nylon javvarisi) - 100 gms
Sugar - 100 gms (or less if you don't want it to be too sweet)
Coconut milk - 1 cup which gives a rich taste or Boiled and cooled milk.
Crushed cardamom - 4
Cashew - 8 (finely chopped)
