Sabudana khichri (also spelled khichdi) is an Indian dish made from soaked sabudana (tapioca pearls).[1] It is the dish of choice when an individual observes a fast during Shivratri, Navratri, or a similar Hindu religious occasion.
It is typically prepared in the Indian states of Maharashtra, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat and West Bengal. In major towns like Mumbai, Pune, Indore, Bhopal, Jaipur and Nagpur, it is available as street food and is widely eaten throughout the year.
