First of all, Happy Navratri to all! 🙂 Here, this week I have been sharing a lot of Navratri recipes especially for people observing vrat or fast. Without a doubt, Sabudana or Sago (tapioca) has to be one of the most popular ingredients during this time as it is so versatile and can be used in many sweet and savoury dishes ranging from vada, cutlets, roti, parantha, khichdi, kheer etc.
This Sabudana Khichdi recipe is simple and quick to make, healthy falahar dish to consume during Navratri or even otherwise.
In addition to that, Sabudana khichdi is also a popular breakfast dish and is usually relished with chai. Especially, the addition of peanuts makes the otherwise carbohydrate-rich dish protein-packed.
