Sabudana khichdi is a common and popular Navratri fasting dish. A combination of sabudana (sago pearls), boiled potato, green chili, peanut powder, and rock salt is sautéed and cooked together in ghee.

- 2 tbsp crushed peanut powder
Instructions
- Take saago pearls in a bowl and wash them 2 to 3 times.
