Optional ingredients
About minimum 2-3 hours of preparation/soaking time is needed for making sabudana khichadi. We need to soak sago well before cooking.
The amount of water we soak the sago in is important. Too much will make sabudana mushi and too little will not soak it well.
Add sabudana to a bowl. Add some water and wash well. Remove all the
water. Add 2 tbsp water and leave the sago to soak for minimum 2 to 3
hours. Soaking longer / overnight is good too.
Heat oil/ghee in a kadai/pan. Add jeera (cumin seeds). Let them splutter and then add the chopped green chilies (if adding).
