0 out of 5 stars (based on 0 reviews)

Sabudana khichadi is one of th ehot favourites maharashtrian snack for breakfast or an evening snack. It is a very common fasting breakfast item (upvas) as all the ingredients it is made with can be consumed during fasting.

This khichidi recipe is quite easy to prepare, personally I will define it a simple difficult dish. Simple due to its very simple technique and few ingredients, difficult cos you miss out some proportion of the ingredients the khichidi will turn out to be sticky and chewy.

    What goes well with this recipe?

    Can be enjoyed with sweetened yogurt

    Why does my khichidi becomes sticky?

    there are various reasons why the khichidi can become sticky.below are few simple but effective techniques that can help
  • ensure while soaking the Sabudana, the water level should not be more than the quantity/level of the sabudana.
  • the sabudana should be soaked atleast 6-8 hours after which you should not see any water content. ie. all the water should be soaked by the sabudana. If there is any, drain the excess water and let it soak for another 2 hours so that no water content remains
  • while cooking, remember do not add any water as well as do not cover the pan
  • stir occasionally while cooking, else the sabudanas may stick to the bottom of the pan and can become sticky
  • cook in sufficient amount of ghee or oil. adding less ghee/oil can also make the khichidi sticky

    I am a Software Engineer by profession but a foodie at heart. I am in love with food! I enjoy the explosion of flavours on my taste buds and am always ready to try different cuisines. One of my fondest memories as a child is sitting on the kitchen counter, watching my mother cook. But as I travelled for work, I missed the tastes of home.
