Sago or Sabudana kichadi

Sabudana kichadi is a popular dish from Maharashtra, India.It has no onion and garlic so usually made during fast/vrat during Hindu religious occasions.


The first time I tried this dish, I had soaked sago in lot of water and it was so sticky that I maintained one arm distance from this dish for long.

Later I learnt from a friend's mom that the sago pearls should be soaked in just enough water to cover the pearls to get smooth and fluffy pearls. Then I gave it another try and it was soft and quite tasty.

It's a very simple and easy to make recipe with very few ingredients. Do give it a try and you will have one extra option for breakfast.
