#toc3 - Sabudana Khichdi is very commonly prepared in many households during fasting days. It is a very popular dish made of sago, potato, roasted peanuts and few basic seasonings. However, do try my version where I have used onion, ginger, garlic, curry leaves and sambar powder. This is a simple breakfast dish that can be enjoyed for brunch, snack or a lunch box meal too.

Sabudana. also known as Sago or Tapioca Pearls is low in fat, but rich in starch. Veggies and peanuts are added to enhance its nutritional benefits. I have added few chickpeas, green peas besides roasted peanuts. You can add any other veggies of your choice to make it more healthy.
