Sabudana khichadi is often made during the fasting season in India. It is usually flavored with curry leaves, green chillis and peanuts. During fast using of lots of spices are prohibited to be eaten.I have used red chili powder, green chilis, sendha namak, potato, peanuts and curry leaves. You can also add ginger, cumin seeds and coriander.
While making sabudana khichdi people mostly face the problem that the sabudana pearls clump together. I have mentioned some tips for perfect non-stick sabudana khichdi.
- For best results, Soak sabudana overnight
- Rinse sabudana until water turns clear to get rid of the starch
- Always use 1:0.5 ratio of sabudana and water respectively. The pearls should be submerged in water.
- In the morning, check if the sabudana has been properly soaked by pressing a pearl between your thumb and index finger.
- You should not overcook sabudana. You should cook only until most of the pearls become translucent. If you keep cooking for a long time, it will stick together.
