3. Mix ground peanuts, sugar and lime juice with sabudana.
4. Heat ghee/oil in a pan and add mustard seeds.

First of all..love your blog and the food photography!

Sabudaana khichadi (maharashtrian style) is my all time favorite and for all these years I never got it right.. no matter how much I asked my friends, aunties about the best way to cook it, I ended up making a gooey mess. But not any more.. Make the khichadi in Microwave and you will get a non-gooey but perfect soft delicious khichadi.
Thank you so much and extremely sorry for the tardy reply. Please share your microwave recipe if you can, I would really appreciate that :-)

Thanks again, for stopping by and leaving a comment!
