Recipe of making a perfect Sabudana Khichadi –

I am foodie and when I fragrance Sabudana khichadi or see my friends uploading its picture I can’t resist so I make for myself immediately a delicious bowl of the nutritional khichadi. The khichadi is very healthy due to additions of so many proteins to it like nuts, dry fruits, fruits, ghee etc and believe me it is so tasty and always a better option for me to avoid fast foods like Pasta, noodles and Maggie. Sabudana khichadi if rightly made then can be the favourite snack for anyone including kids. Making perfect Sabudana khichadi is an art which can’t be expertised by everyone so read the recipe which I followed carefully and make it by following the instructions one by one. I have tried and tested the recipe many time before hitting a perfect bowl so I want you to follow the steps exactly so that you don’t repeat the mistakes which I did earlier in making it wrong.Believe me the bowl in front of eyes at last will be all worth the hard work invested while making the sabudana khichadi-
