Dahi sabudana recipe – It is made from sabudana, yogurt, crushed peanuts and spiced with green chilies. You can consume it during navratri vrat or any other Hindu fasting.
Again I am sharing one more fasting recipe that I learned from my dear mom.
Sabudana is favorite at home. On many days we are not fasting still I do make the dishes from sabudana. Hubby’s favorite are this dahi sabudana and sabudana thalipeeth (made with sweet potatoes instead potatoes).
Sabudana is full of carbohydrate. So it makes you full for longer and provides you enough energy. So you should consume it once during your vrat or upvas.
Tired of having same old sabudana khichdi all the time? Try this instead, I am sure you will like it.
Here sabudana are soaked in buttermilk (chaas) and yogurt is also added while cooking. Since the yogurt is used two times, it has slight tang.
Addition of peanuts give nice crunch in every bite with juicy, melt in your mouth textured sabudana.
