Vrat Sabudana Khichdi
Sago Khichdi is usually eaten for breakfast but I have it for dinner as it is light on my tummy and easily digested. Soaked Sago pearls or tapioca are sautéed with bite size potatoes, peanuts and a paste of mint and green chillies. The mint makes it so flavourful, healthy and lip-smacking.
How to Soak Sago Pearls
To make Sabudana Khichdi you need to soak Sago pearls at least 4 hours before you actually cook it. If you end up getting mushy and sticky pearls all the time then follow my recipe on how to soak sabudana for khichdi or make perfect tapioca pearls for your sabudana khichdi.
Soak 1 cup Sabudana pearls in 1 cup water for 4-5 hours, drain and use it in the khichdi. If you use more water you will land up with a gooey mess. Sometimes I soak for less than 3 hours too and it is fine. Drain the sago pearls and keep aside.
I like my food healthy and colorful like this Navratri Vrat Sabudana Khichdi Recipe or How to make Sago Pearl Mash.You can’t go wrong with this recipe – it is amazingly versatile and adaptable.
