Food Tips. Shivratri, the favorite festival of Shiva devotees, is about to come. On this day, along with worshiping Shiva, many people also observe fast. On this day, people eat fruits after worshiping. But one thing is prepared in almost every house on that day, and that is ‘Sago Khichdi’. It is so delicious that people eat it even without fasting. But while making it, almost every person faces one problem at some time or the other, that is its grains sticking together. This situation is very bad for Khichdi, and spoils all the fun of Khichdi. Because due to the stickiness of sago, it becomes very difficult to fry it properly, due to which its taste gets completely spoiled.
In such a situation, if you too do not make sago khichdi well or it becomes sticky again and again, then today all your problems will end. Today we will give you important information related to sago khichdi.
Why do the grains of Sabudana Khichdi stick?
If the sago is not puffed properly then its grains start sticking together as soon as it is put in the pan.
In such a situation, it is important that you give it time to swell completely. For this, keep it in a spread vessel to swell for at least three to four hours before making the recipe. Also, before cooking, keep it in a sieve for 10-15 minutes, so that all the extra water gets removed from it.
Add these things in Sabudana Khichdi
The stickiness of Sabudana Khichdi also depends on the way it is prepared. If you use ghee instead of oil, the taste will not only increase but its grains will remain separate and blooming like pearls. Besides, adding potatoes also reduces the stickiness of Khichdi.
Keep this in mind also
If Sabudana Khichdi is cooked for a long time, it starts becoming sticky. In such a situation, it is important that you cook it only until it becomes soft. If you are not able to guess the Khichdi by looking at it, then you can check the grains with your hand from time to time while cooking it. And as soon as the khichdi is cooked, immediately turn off the gas. By adopting these methods your sago khichdi will be delicious.

1- Wash sago thoroughly and soak it in water overnight. The next morning the sago will become soft and fluffy.
