Sabudana Khichdi, a popular dish made from soaked sabudana. 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 tsp of water and mix the washed sabudhana. Close and set aside for 6 hours. Every 30 mins, open the lid, sprinkle 2-3 tsp 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.

I tried it following all the steps you gave, but sago became mushy. Can you please tell me where I went wrong?

After draining the sago show it under running water and allow it to fully drain the water and keep it aside for atleast 30 mins. The variety of sago makes it mushy not all sago are likethat.
