sabudana khichdi recipe

Sabudana Khichdi is a delicious Indian dish made with tapioca pearls soaked and cooked with peanuts and potatoes. One of the vrat recipes that is had during festive days.

This sago upma has got my tinges here and there. Addition of curry leaves, coconut and ginger are not usual in the regular sabhudana khichadi. But I always prefer a south Indian touch to any dish that I make at my home.

Usually crushed peanuts are used. but I have used it as such which gives the wholesome crunchiness along with coconut bits.

How to soak sabudana right way

Wash the sago/sabudana well in running water until clear. The starch from the sago has to be completely drained.

soaking sago

Soak it in equal measure water. that is If 1 cup sago is taken, then soak it in 1 cup water. More or less water can result in soggy/sticky sago. If you press the pearls firmly, it has to get mashed which is the right consistency.
