Sabudana Khichidi

Sabudana Khichidi

                                                                    Sabudana Khichidi is made from Sago(we call it Javarisi).It is made during navrathri days and during fasting days.It is very popular in Maharashtra.The addition of Peanuts and potato makes it a whole and filling meal while fasting.
Once in a while I make it for breakfast in my house because i don't really observe any fasting.My kids are not very fond of sago because of its gooey nature.I have made this khichidi with two different types of sago one is big which requires more soaking time and the other smaller one needs only half an hour soaking time.
