Tapioca pearls are known as sabudana. Sabudana Khichdi is one of famous recipes eaten in Indian during holy fasting Or even as breakfast. Vivid memories revived back today from school days when I ate this dish. This recipe is easy to make and tastes quite yum.

Mostly sabudana khichdi is made in the Maharashtra belt of India. Even in Mumbai you get lot of stalls selling sabudana khichdi, sabudana vada etc. You could serve the khichdi with green chutney and some lime juice.

To be honest I made this for the first time. Looking forward to make them more as it’s easy and simple to make. Have tried some of Mumbai fast food recipes like Mumbai Masala Toast Sandwich, Kanda Batata Poha, Amritsari Chole Bhature, Anda Bhurji and Mumbai Tawa Pulao

I was intending to post recipes for fasting season for a long time. Finally I have started posting them 😉 one by one. Slow and steady wins the race. Hmmm sometimes I feel I have lack of time and years to make so many umpteen dishes (:

It’s my dream to travel all over and see different cultures, cuisines and make their style food. Hope it comes out true soon touchwood 😉 as of now just sticking to sabudana khichdi else will start dreaming again….

Notes

1. Ensure you soak sabudana until they are soft but don't make the gooey by adding extra water. If it happens to be soggy don't worry just place absorbent napkin over it. Allow to rest in open air. This way it won't get soggy.
2. It's important you roast the peanuts before making their coarse powder.
3. For variation you could garnish with fresh grated coconut.
4. Also don't overcook sabudana else it will tend to get get dry. Once it changes color switch off the gas.
