Sabudana Khichdi is a very popular fasting food from Western and central western regions of India. It is usually had during Hindu fasting festivals like Navratri or shivratri. It is made using soaked sabudana or sago or tapioca pearls. The soaked sabudana is tossed with boiled potatoes, roasted peanuts and fresh herbs like curry leaves and green coriander. A very simple dish but has a heavenly taste. No wonder its a food had during fasts.
