    Sabudana Khichdi Indian Fasting Recipe

    Sabudana khichdi, commonly known as sago khichdi is an Indian dish made from soaked sabudana or tapioca pearls. It is a fasting food which is prepared during fasting like Navratri, Sankashti, Mahashivratri, Ekadashi, Purnima, etc, etc. This is a staple falahar food in the western part of our country. Apart from fasting food, this is easy to make a snacking option.

    The main part is soaking sabudana the right way.

    Soak sabudana overnight. Don't add more water. If you are taking 1 cup water soak it in 1 cup water. If you see there is still some water left after sabudana is soaked well, then strain out excess water and air dry sabudana for 5 minutes by spreading it on a clean plate or colander.

    Add powdered roasted peanuts, salt to the soaked sabudana.

    Read other sabudana recipes like sabudana vada, sabudana chivda for fasting, sabudana thaalipeeth, sabudana kheer etc.

    If you are looking for more dishes for fasting then check out Dahi Aaloo, Aaloo Tomato, Shinghade Ki Puri, Kuttu Ki Tikki, Kuttu ke Pakode, Shinghade ki pakode, apple halwa, Sama Rice Khichdi etc.

    This is vegan and gluten free recipe. Groundnuts and potatoes are the main ingredients apart from sabudana.

    The method I've mentioned here is a typical Maharashtrian method of Sabudana Khichdi as I came across this dish in Maharashtra.

    Is sabudana kid-friendly?

    Sabudana khichdi is heavy for tummy and one serving will keep you full for 4 to 5 hours. Generally, this is served with curd or sweet curd. I don't use some other ingredients like curry leaves, coriander leaves. But I have added here as these are allowed in falahar. You can add or skip as per your own rules for fasting days.

    Sabudana is full of carbohydrates and energy and hence a great food option for toddlers and kids. My kid loves this sabudana khichdi. So when I prepare for him I skip green chilies. For toddlers, you can prepare sweet porridge from sabudana. This is full of carbohydrates and hence is a source of energy and one of the best food for kids.
