Vrat Ki Sabudana Khichdi Recipe | How To Make Sabudana Khichdi For Fasting

Sabudana khichdi is the most favorite and popular recipe for any fasting days. But this is a staple dish to make especially in Navratri fasting. This khichdi is vegan and gluten-free Indian snack. Sabudana khichdi is also is a popular Maharashtrian breakfast item.

Sabudana is known as sago or tapioca pearls. There are many varieties available (small, medium and big pearls) in terms of pearl’s size. Which decides how long sabudana should be soaked. I am using medium sized sabudana or tapioca pearl which takes around 4 hours soaking time.
