How do I stop sabudana from turning sticky?

Soak the pearls until just softened and drained well, then cook them in Anveshan desi ghee on a gentle heat without over-stirring. This keeps each pearl separate and fluffy.

Is sabudana khichdi good for vrat?

Yes, it is a classic vrat recipe made with rock salt (sendha namak), peanuts and potato, cooked in Anveshan desi ghee, making it ideal for fasting days.

Why use ghee instead of oil for sabudana khichdi?

Anveshan desi ghee gives the khichdi a rich aroma and helps keep the tapioca pearls glossy and non-sticky, better than plain oil.

How long does it take to make?

Apart from soaking the sabudana, it needs about 15 minutes prep and 15 minutes cooking, and serves 4.
