Sabudana Khichdi is a popular Indian fasting dish made from tapioca pearls, roasted peanuts, and potatoes. This Maharashtrian specialty is prized for its unique texture—chewy pearls that are perfectly separate and coated in a spicy-nutty mixture. It is flavored with green chilies, cumin seeds, and a touch of lemon for zest. The addition of crushed peanuts provides a crunch that balances the soft pearls. It is gluten-free and energy-dense, making it ideal for Vrat (fasting) or breakfast. Best served hot with a bowl of fresh curd or coconut chutney.
