Beet Sago Khichdi is a tasty twist to one of the most popular breakfast items -Sabudana Khichdi of Maharashtra. Sabudana Khichdi is a popular dish during fasting in many states in Northern India.
Sago may contain fewer nutrients than other whole grains, but when combined with fiber-rich vegetables it may have potential health benefits.
Even though it is customary to consume Sago or Sabudana Khichdi during Navratri, it is a popular everyday breakfast item in the state of Maharashtra.
Extracted from the edible part of the tropical palm tree root, sabudana has been a staple food for people living in the Tropical regions for a long time.
Sabudana is pure starch and hence has a high carb content.What makes it healthy is it’s gluten-free composition and is naturally a great source of complex carbs.
Hope you enjoy this variation of Sabudana khichdi.

- 1 tsp ghee or oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 Nos green chilli
- 1/2 cup peanuts
Ingredients for Khichdi
- 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
- 1/2 cup finely grated beetroot
- 1 cup Sabudana or Sago or Tapioca Pearls
- 1 tsp salt

Instructions
Make Peanut mix
- Add ghee to a pan.
- Add green chilli and garlic and roast for a few minutes.
- Set aside.
- Roast peanuts in the same pan till peanuts turn crisp.
- Wash sabudana thoroughly and then soak in water for 6 hours. The level of water should be about 1/2 an inch above the sabudana. This will ensure that the soaked sabudana pearls remain intact. Too much water will make them mushy in the final recipe. After 6 hours, there should be no water left in sabudana.

- Add finely grated beetroot and roast for about 5 minutes.
- Add soaked sabudana and continue to stir till the sabudana seeds turn translucent.
