Sabudana khichadi

Sabudana khichadi is an Indian dish consisting of soaked tapioca that is fried with spices such as cumin, red chili powder, and salt. The dish is popular throughout Western India, especially in Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Maharashtra. It is often garnished with chopped coriander leaves or grated coconut. Sabudana khichdi is traditionally consumed during the fasting days of Indian religious festivities such as Navratri and Shivratri. Since the dish is popular in many Indian states, there are a lot of variations in the recipes, so Gujaratis make their sabudana khichadi in a sweet version with the addition of cashews and dried fruits, while Maharashtrians like to add fried peanuts to the dish.
