Sago Khichdi is also referred as Shabudana Khichdi or Sabudana depending on where you live. Here is a very tasteful recipe... you could use even when you are not fasting.

Sago Khichdi or Shabudana is used when a fast is observed. For me this is such a favorite that we make it almost weekly for breakfast or evening snacks. What’s more in maharashtra they even make, Sago vada.. that is yummi too.

I always wonder why would they keep such a delicious dish for fasting. May be it's a motivation for fasting !! Ha ha.. Sago is normally eaten with the curd and mint chutney.

This is quite easy to make. You just have to be careful with amount of water that you add to Sago. All recipes call for soaking the sago to rehydrate it and if this is not done right, you end up with a gummy disaster. In addition, the sago needs careful seasoning. Making sago khichdi is an art and I would love to share few tips that I have learnt.

Ingredients:

- 1 tspoon Jeera (Cumin seeds)
- 2-3 Green Chili
- 1 cup Sago
- 2 tablespoon Oil/Ghee
- half cup Roasted peanuts (powdered)
- Cilantro leaves
- 1 Potato peeled and chopped in small cubes
- 2 tbsp grated fresh Coconut (this is optional)
- Lemon
- 1 tblpoon sugar (or as per taste)

For chutney you can use curd, mint and cilantro.

Method:

1.Soak1 cup of sago by placing it in a flat container, then rinsing once with water, then adding enough water to just cover the sago in the container. Cover and leave for 4 hours or overnight. This results in perfectly fluffed sago. You can try pressing it to test if it is properly soaked. Note that sago, should not be sticking to each other.

2. Now you should, Season the fluffed sago by adding 3/4 cup coarsely powdered roasted peanuts, salt to taste and 1 tbsp sugar.

3. Saute a tsp of cumin seeds in a pan containing 1 tbsp oil + 1 tbsp ghee...or just 2 tbsp oil

4. Add 3-4 slit green chillies , followed by one diced potato.

5. Cover and cook till potatoes are golden brown.

6. After this add the seasoned sago and saute for 7-9 minutes, cover and cook for another couple of minutes.

7. Finally, add the grated coconut and minced cilantro and sprinkle on some lemon juice and you are done!

Serve it hot with the curd and mint chutney. I love Sago also with the banana.
