Sabudana khichadi is an Indian dish made from soaked Sabudana (pearl tapioca). It is typically prepared in parts of Western India such as Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, & Gujarat. In major towns like Mumbai, Pune, Indore, Bhopal and Nagpur, it is available as street food and is widely eaten throughout the year. It is the dish of choice when an individual observes a "fast" during Shivratri, Navratri, or a similar Hindu religious occasion. It is known as Sabudana Usal in the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra.

Recipe

Pearl tapioca (Sabudana) is soaked for a while, and is then fried with cumin seeds, salt, red chili powder, green chillies and other optional ingredients such as fried peanuts.

Nutrition

Sago is nearly pure carbohydrate and has very little protein, vitamins, or minerals. The addition of peanuts to sabudana khichadi adds to the protein content, making it a more balanced meal. It has a high calorific content, due to the quantity of starch and fat present.
