#CookandChomp Navratri special Sabudana Khichdi

Navratri is the most awaited time of the year with festivities ringing in, lots of delicacies to chomp on and a general sense of merriment. Navratri also means no meats for nine days before the heart feast on Dussehra. But that doesn’t mean Navratri doesn’t have a charm of its own and the deliciousness gets any less. Even though I don’t fast, my all time favorite remains the variety of sabudana.
Sabudana or Pearl tapioca is a hit amongst all those fasting thanks to it’s high calorific value. Follow this super easy recipe to savor sabudana khichdi for your own.
