Of course, properly soaked sabudana is indispensable for any sago preparation. In the post for sabudana khichadi, I have explained the dos and don’ts for it. Sabudana khichadi has been flavored with cumin seeds (jeera). Peanuts are indispensable for any sabudana khichadi, I mean I think so. However, this recipe treats them a bit different. Roasted peanuts are not powdered or ground completely, instead, either a combination of wholes and powdered peanuts is used or while grinding care is taken that there should be a coarse mix. Potatoes, green chilies, coriander leaves, lemon juice are some fresh ingredients used for the Maharashtrian Style Sabudana Khichadi recipe. Other than these salt and sugar have been added. No other spices are used and this simplicity makes this recipe so special.
