I was first introduced to this sabudana khichdi by my Maharashtrian neighbor. She was the one who not only gave me the Kolhapuri Chicken recipe but also the Batata Vada recipe. As I love the sago a lot, I was totally thrilled when I first tasted this dish. I was really thrilled to find the sago in this form and not like the Javvarisi Payasam and javvarisi vada like we generally have down south.
Sabudana khichdi recipe is a must try at least once. The main trick is the soaking of the sabudana. (Adderall) If you don’t follow the method to the T, you will either end up with hard or soggy khichdi.
It is not so difficult to follow. All you have to do is soak the sabudana for an hour in sufficient water. Then drain the water from the sabudana, sprinkle some water on it, leave it overnight. Wake up in the morning, sprinkle some more water on it, and wait for an hour. That’s it!! If you follow this method, you will never be disappointed with the sabudana khichdi recipe.
