Notes

  1. Always wash the sabudana well till the water turns clear (starch-free)
  2. Soak the sabudana well for at least 6 hours till they turn soft press
  3. If you forgot to soak, you can soak in hot water for few hours but best sabudana khichdi is with cold water soaking
  4. I have pulsed roasted peanuts but it is optional
  5. Preferably add lemon juice before serving
  6. Always cook khichdi in low flame and avoid sauteeing frequently
