Sabudana Khichdi is an all-time favourite Maharashtrian snack, which is often had for breakfast or supper. We have made a quicker version of sabudana khichdi called microwave sabudana khichdi. With a few small tweaks like using sendha namak instead of sea salt, it is also used to sustain oneself on a fasting day.
Popular during fasts, its also well known as Sabudana Khichdi faraal food. It is mostly had during fasting days like Navratri, Ekadashi and Mahashivratri. It also falls under the category of Maharashtrian street food.
I don’t only make it during fasting days but also for breakfast, snack or even for dinner, I also prefer taking it along for a meal to work. Preparing the sabudana for the khichdi is very easy, all you need to do is soak sabudana prior. To make microwave sabudana khichdi, wash the sago. Drain and place them in a deep bowl, add approx. ½ cup of water and mix gently. Cover with a lid and keep aside for 8 hours. Combine the oil, cumin seeds and curry leaves in a microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for 1 minute. Add the potatoes, mix well and cover with a microwave safe lid and microwave on high for 5 minutes, while tossing it once in between. Add the soaked sabudana, peanuts, coriander, green chilli paste, lemon juice, sugar and salt, mix gently and cook on a medium flame for 3 minutes, while stirring once in between.
Serve microwave sago khichdi hot with curds.

1) In point no. You said to add cool boiled potato pieces in hot bawl. Is it safe? Will glass bawl will not crack? 2) same query applied for point no. 14 when we add soaked cold Sago in heated bawl. 3) In point no. 18 you mentioned to cook on low flame. Do you mean to use again LPG gas stove? If yes, is glass bowl is Safe on LPG flame?
