Sabudana khichdi is a breakfast dish from the Maharashtrian cuisine. This
is a common dish among every Marathi households which is a healthy breakfast.
Also this is a favorite choice of food during fasting especially during
sankashti upvaas. I usually prepare this dish at least once in a week and I
like it most to have along with curd.
Also do try Sabudana Vada from my blog, a snack item prepared from
sabudana.

1.In a bowl add sabudana and rinse it well couple of times under
water. Soak overnight or for at least 4 to 5 hours. The water level should be
just half inch above the sabudana.

they have not softened then sprinkle few drops of water and allow it to soften.

slightly browned.
9.Now add sabudana with crushed peanuts, salt & sugar and mix
gently. Reduce the flame to medium and close the lid.
10.After a minute open the lid and sauté in order to cook sabudana
evenly. Usually it will not take much time in cooking.
11.Sprinkle lemon juice and coriander leaves and give a good mix
again. Turn off the flame.

Note :
1.You have to be careful while buying the sabudana as the lower
quality will result in stickiness after soaking. Also the level of water when
you soak is important to get a pearl like seeds.
2.Prepare for the crushed peanuts and boiled potatoes well in
