Sabudana pearls (also referred as Sago/Tapioca/ Javarasi), is soaked for at least 5 hours (or overnight), and is then sautéed with cumin seeds, salt, green chillies, diced potatoes and crushed  peanuts,  garnished with finely chopped coriander leaves and generous squeeze of lemon. It is typically prepared in the states of Maharashtra, Gujarat, UP, MP and Karnataka. In major cities like Mumbai, it is available as street food. It is often consumed during the vrat (fasting) days like Navratri, Shiv Ratri, Ekadhasi. This Khichdi is rich in carbohydrates. The addition of peanuts to sabudana khichadi adds to the protein making it a more balanced meal. It has a high caloric content, due to the quantity of starch and fat present.

Tips for making Sabudana Khichdi:

  •  Wash the sabudana thoroughly for 2-3 times to get rid off the starch.
  • Add just 2-3 teaspoon of water and mix the washed sabudhana. Close and set aside for 6 hours. Every 30 mins, open the lid, sprinkle 2-3 teaspoon of water, mix and then close again.
  • Depending on the quality of sabudhana, some times you need overnight soaking or very less soaking for 1-2 hours.
  • Press one soaked pearl to check if it gets mashed, then the sabudana is ready to cook.
  • We can cook the potatoes till its golden brown or we can just toss with sabudana.
  • After adding sabudana-peanut mixture, cook for 3-4 mins or till the sabudana becomes transparent. Do not overcook, it will become chewy.
