October 18, 2020 Pallavi Bhat Leave a Comment

Sabudana Khichadi | Sago Khichadi | Sabbakki Kichadi – with step by step pictures, description and video of the recipe is here. Sabudana Khichadi is one of the famous dish prepared during fasting and mainly in the festival seasons. It is a popular dish from Maharashtrian cuisine prepared by using sago pearls, roasted peanuts and boiled potato.

Sabudana Khichadi

Beautiful Sago pearls coated with roasted powder of crunchy peanut and sautéed with potatoes and spices with a generous squeeze of lemon. Me and my husband love Sabudana Khichadi very much and now our little one started loving it too. But somehow this dish preparation is not easy, if you don’t soak it well then becomes mushy or sticky.

Moreover starchy textured sago are combined well with the nutty flavour of the crunchy peanut powder, sweetened with boiled potato pieces and tanginess to soothe the taste buds by adding lemon juice. It is mostly liked by everyone. If you are one who doesn’t like Sabudana Khichadi do try this recipe without a miss, you will surely like it.

This a very simple recipe, but the important part is soaking the sabudana well in water. Sabudana pearls need to be soft, not sticky. Check out the video of this recipe to know how to soak sabudana properly. Firstly, you need to wash the Sabudana well in water for 2-3 times to get rid of the excess starch present. If you don’t wash well then the sago pearls will stick to each other.

Moreover, there are two ways of soaking Sago pearls. one method is for 1 cup of sago, after washing add 3/4 cup of water and soak it for 5-6 hours. Another method is after washing the sago, add water just enough to immerse them. Soak them for 5-6 hours.

However you can prepare the roasted peanuts beforehand. So that it can save you some time while preparing. Furthermore, Sabudana khichadi is known as Sago khichadi, Javvarisi Upma, Sabbakki Kichadi in various regions.

Sabudana is rich in carbohydrates and is a good food option to feel fuller and satiated for a longer period of time. So here is the recipe of Sago khichadi or sabbakki kichadi for fasting or you can have it as breakfast. It is one of the good dish to have during Navratri fasting.

Before going to the recipe, I would like to highlight some of the other recipes here,
