Sabudana is also called Tapioca, Saggu biyyam, and Sago. Sabudana khichidi is a breakfast recipe. It can also be made for Uavas or Vrat with some restrictions like onion. In this recipe I am using onions also because it is for breakfast. But if you are making for Vrat or Upavas, just leave out the ingredients that are not allowed.
Sometimes sabudana khichidi is a challenge because it gets mushy and sticky. Here I will show some tips which help to get a fluffy and non sticky khichidi.
