Sabudana Khichdi

Sabudana Khichdi Photography

Sabudana Khichdi is a popular Indian dish during fast made from soaked Sabudana or Sago or Tapioca Pearl. It is typically prepared in parts of Western India such as Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, & Gujarat. In major towns like Mumbai, Pune, Indore, Bhopal and Nagpur, available as street food and is widely eaten throughout the year. It is the dish of choice when an individual observes a “fast” during Shivratri, Navratri, or a similar Hindu religious occasion.

This Sabudana dish is Maharashtrian style recipe, cooked with potatoes and crushed peanuts. Usually people prefer to have while fasting. But it can be eaten for breakfast too.

While I was kid, my mom and granny used to make during fasting and mainly prepared only for them, not for kids and we used to get everyday boring food like dal rice or roti Sabji. However, I had been also started fasting with them just to eat Sabudana Khichdi, only the difference is, while they were eating once a day I used to eat whole day. Means, you just imagine how much I like Sabudana Khichdi since I was kid. I am sure you gonna also love it.

Tips:

• Do not add too much water in Sabudana while soaking, otherwise it will lose their shape or break and it will not come out like pearls.
• If there is water moisture in soaked Sabudana, drain it and spread it over kitchen towel for 20-25 mins.
