Sabudana Khichdi (vegan, gluten-free)

While my mom was visiting me in California during Navratri, I made her Sabudana Khichdi. Of course, she guided me on how to make it so she obviously loved it. 🙂 Being the food blogger that I am, I didn’t let her eat the Sabudana ki Khichdi right away. I first took my pictures, and then handed her a bowl with love.

What is Sabudana Khichdi?

Sabudana Khichdi is a Maharashtrian dish and is made with tapioca pearls (or sago pearls) cooked with potatoes, peanuts, and spices. This dish is similar to making Aloo Poha. Sabudana Khichdi is perfect when you’re observing a vrat (or fast), especially during Navratri. It also makes the perfect breakfast or brunch.

How to make non-sticky Sabudana Khichdi?

If you follow these steps below, you will have the perfect sabudana khichdi:

  • Rinse and wash the sabudana very well the night before.
  • Soak the sabudana overnight with equal parts of water. In this recipe, I used 1 cup of sabudana, and so I soaked the sabudana in exactly 1 cup of water.
  • The next day, drain the sabudana. DO NOT RINSE, just drain the sabudana.
  • When you add the sabudana to the potatoes and spices, do not overcook the sabudana. This may result in sticky sabudana.

Ingredients you’ll need for Sabudana ki Khichdi:

Sabudana: Sabudana is also known as tapioca pearls and can easily be found at your local Desi grocery store or Amazon.

Potatoes: For this recipe, I recommend using russet potatoes and diced.

Green Chilies: I used 2 green chilies for this recipe, however feel free to use more if need be.

Curry Leaves: Curry leaves add so much flavor and cook fast. 8 curry leaves work well in his recipe.

Peanuts: For this dish, you need unsalted peanuts. Roast the peanuts before beginning the cooking process. Alternatively, you may use crushed peanuts as well.

Lemon Juice: Freshly squeezed lemon juice adds so much flavor towards the end of this recipe.

PANEER TIKKA QUESADILLAS are mouthwatering! Here's PANEER TIKKA QUESADILLAS are mouthwatering! Here's an Indo-Fusion dish you will love! I made a delicious marinade for the paneer and sauteed it along with the veggies. Assemble your whole wheat quesadillas and cook until the cheese has melted. The best part about this dish is my "special taco sauce" which complements these quesadillas perfectly. ⁠

Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms who show up s Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms who show up selflessly every single day. Also, a happy mothers day to all of you who want to be moms. ❤️  This is the most challenging role of my life, but the journey is totally worth it. Krish has made me a stronger and happier person. He gives new meaning to my life.  And lastly, my kid couldn’t give me one nice picture of us in Hawaii… there’s either someone in the back or he’s making a face or he just wants to get away. He just can’t sit still for a minute… and with that a Happy Mother’s Day to me! 🥰

Vacationing with a kid has been a completely diffe Vacationing with a kid has been a completely different experience. While it’s nice to spend time as a family, dinners can get tough with a baby. Sanjiv and I enjoyed a romantic evening at House Without A Key in peace because Krish “thankfully” fell asleep (he was behind us I promise… swipe). It was so nice to converse with my better half over live music + cocktails, delicious food, and the BEST coconut cake (last pic). A memorable meal and evening! ❤️ #mylove

Aloha 🤙! Our first family trip! We made it to H Aloha 🤙! Our first family trip! We made it to Hawaii safe and sound, and Krish was pretty good on the plane. It’s my first time in Hawaii and I’m loving Waikiki… the beach, food, window shopping, and city life. I love being able to walk everywhere. It’s the perfect amount of action and relaxation for me. This is totally my kinda vacation 😎!  Krish has been loving all the people-watching… something he doesn’t do much of back home. He’s been flexible and has pretty much adjusted to our schedule. Thank you 🙏🏼 guys for all the food recommendations (Duke’s Hula Pie) and tips on traveling with a toddler. I can’t thank you all enough. ❤️ #myworld
