Sabudana Khichdi | maharashtrian sabudana khichdi | sago khichdi | with 26 amazing images.



Sabudana Khichdi is a Maharashtrian dish made with sabudana, potatoes and peanuts. Sabudana Khichdi is a perfect food for those on a fast or vrat and it is also made in many household as breakfast.

Popular during fasts, it's also well known as Sabudana Khichdi faraal food . It is mostly had during fasting days like Navratri, Ekadashi and Mahashivratri. It also falls under the category of Maharashtrian street food.

The chewy texture and starchy taste of sabudana is so beautifully complemented by the nutty flavour of coarsely powdered peanuts, and balanced by the tangy lemon juice, making this sago khichdi soothing to the taste-buds, yet very tempting too.

For a complete faraali meal serve the Sabudana Khichdi along with homemade curd, Rajgira Paneer Paratha, Peanut Kadhi and Shakarkand Ka Halwa.

Recipe Notes for Sabudana Khichdi

    Recipe Notes for Sabudana Khichdi
  1. The time taken to get perfectly soaked sago pearls, generally varies and depends upon the quality of the sabudana used. To get the best results of Sabudana Khichdi, if you have more time, then I would suggest you to soak the sabudana overnight.
  2. To check if the sabudana has been soaked properly or no, check by pressing a pearl between your thumb and index finger. You should be able to smash it easily. If not, sprinkle 2-3 tbsp of water and keep them aside for half an hour.
  3. If not making during vrat, you can also add turmeric powder and chilli powder to the Sabudana Khichdi recipe.
  4. Many people even prefer mixing the soaked and drained sabudana with peanuts, coriander, salt, sugar, green chillies, mix with hand and keep aside. This helps in even spreading of all the ingredients.
  5. You can even chop the potatoes into small cubes and then cook them in the pan before adding the sabudana.
  6. All the peanuts need not be coarsely crushed, you can reserve some whole to give a bite to the Maharashtrian Sabudana Khichdi recipe.

How To Soak Sabudana

    How To Soak Sabudana
  1. To make Sabudana Khichdi, take sabudana also known as sago in a bowl. This is how it looks. 
  2. To make the Maharashtrian style Sabudana Khichdi, wash the sabudana under running water or in a bowl full of water twice or thrice ( until the water runs clean). It is very important to get rid off all the starch.
  3. Drain the sabudana using a colander or strainer.
  4. Transfer the washed and drained sabudana in a deep bowl.
  5. Add ¾ cup of water. If you add more water, the sago will absorb everything resulting into mushy and clumsy Sabudana Khichdi.
  6. Mix well, cover and keep aside to soak for 2 hours.
  7. Drain them again and keep aside. There will hardly be any water left but, just ensure the excess water is drained out if there is any. The sabudana will look like this after soaking.

Preparation for the Sabudana Khichdi

    Preparation for the Sabudana Khichdi
  1. Take 1/2 cup of peanuts in a broad non-stick pan.
  2. Roast the peanuts on a medium flame for 4-5 minutes, while stirring occasionally.
  3. The peanuts should become crunchy. You will also notice the skin has turned brown or charred.
  4. Remove from the flame and keep aside to cool. You can remove the skin if you wish to.
  5. Transfer the peanuts to a mixer jar after cooling them slightly.
  6. Pulse them once or twice to get a coarse powder and keep them aside.

  2. Once the oil is hot, add the cumin seeds.
  3. When the seeds crackle, add the curry leaves.
  4. Add the green chillies. You can also add ginger to the Sabudana Khichdi to enhance the flavour.
  5. Add the potatoes.
  6. Add the sago.
  7. Add the salt. If making Sabudana Khichdi for fasting, make use of sendha namak instead of regular salt.
  8. Add the peanuts.
  9. Add the coriander. Many people do not consume greens during the fast, depending upon your preference, you can add or skip.
  10. Add the lemon juice and sugar. They help in balancing out the flavours of the Sabudana Khichdi.

   Hi, Make sure the water that is used in the recipe to soak the sabudana is just what you have used and not more or less and also while cooking make sure that you do not over mix it.
