Faryali Sabudana Khichadi is made from sago pearls , potatoes , crunchy peanuts . It is spicy and slightly sweet street food of Gujrat .
Sabudana are sago pearls , and these are small white grains that are obtained from part of the trunk of a palm tree . These are edible starch pearls and are used in cooking in many countries .The Indian name for sago is sabudana and this Khichadi is very popular in Maharashtra , Madhya Pradesh , Rajasthan and Gujarat . Each state has its own version .
I had always had the Maharashtrian version of this khichadi , which is always made during fasting festivals but this version is very different than the home cooked version.
Here in Gujarat this khichadi is sold on the streets . Normally we have carts which sell this khichadi . They temper and keep the sago and potato ready and when order is placed a few spices and some lemon juice are mixed in and finally the khichadi is topped with aloo chivda , which has loads of peanuts and is spicy as well as sweet . coriander leaves and pomegranate pearls are used to finish off the dish.
The khichadi is really unique and has a burst of flavours . It has sweet , spicy , tangy flavours and at the same time an excellent crunch from the peanuts and pomegranate pearls .Come Explore the Flavours of Gujrat , try this khichadi which can also be enjoyed as a fasting dish and is sold for a mere Rs 30 per serving .
