Today i am herewith a popular dish that people take during
navratri vrat, which is happening now ie Ram Navratri. For those who are not aware of Sabudana/sago, it’s a tiny pearl made of tapioca/yucca root and people use it more often during fasting time. During last october i
was invited for navratri pooja held at neighbors places. I liked this sabudana
khichdi which was kept in lunch to core. I immediately noted from friends how
it was made and from then during my monthly satyanarayana vrat i am making it
without fail. Feel free to
modify the ingredients mentioned here if you don’t takeany during vrat time. Happy
Navratri wishes!
