Ingredients

Instructions

  • Measure 1 cup and take sago in a strainer.

  • Soak in little less than 1/2 cup water for 4 hours minimum. Water level should be just little above the immersing level - do not add more water.
  • Set aside covered for 4 hours.

Notes

  • Rinse sago well so that we are devoid of starchy feel and helps in getting non sticky Sabudana Khichdi.
  • You can even soak overnight too but in that case you should keep checking the water level, do not let it dry up sprinkle water as and when needed.
  • The water level should be just for the sago to immerse fully. This is a very important step, if you add more water then it will become mushy.
  • Soaking time depends on the quality of sago some becomes soft even within 3-4 hrs so make sure to check it at intervals.
  • Toss the sago well to avoid sticking to the bottom.
  • It may look sticking to each other further cooking will make it separate.
