Notes

Few recommendations while cooking and serving -
  • Tapioca pearls or Sabudana soaking time for Sabudana Khichdi depends on type of Sabudana. If your Sabudana becomes too soft while washing them before soaking then don't soak them and you can make Sabudana Khichdi instantly. As per our experience with this Sabudana your Sabudana Khichdi will be too sticky and the flavour may not be that good so we don't recommend it.
  • Since Vegetable oil is not recommended to cook fasting food hence we used Clarified butter for cooking. You can also use ground nut oil for cooking.
  • Since roasted peanuts are now days avanilable readily in market, you can make your life more easy by using them instead.
  • You can prepare roasted peanuts in large quantity and keep them stocked for long period of time. At-least 1 - 2 months subjected to weather conditions.
