1.In a pan heat ghee and add sliced almonds and fry till it turns into nice golden color.You add sliced almonds with out frying in ghee.

2.Heat milk in a vessel .Once the milk starts to boil,reduce flame to medium and add sago.Keep stirring in between to avoid any burning in the bottom of the vessel.It will take around 5-6 mts.It all depends on the quality of sago.Keep an eye after 5mts. The sago turns into transparent if it cooks very well.If sago over cooks it turns into thicker consistency.
