sago upma indian recipe /javvarisi/sabudana khichdi

Little planning will make it a promising snack or a breakfast!but mostly I end up in making sago upma indian recipe /javvarisi/sabudana khichdi for dinner.Only few times I have made it as upma but mostly I love-making payasam with it.The bigger variety only will be suitable for this upma mostly for this the soaking time is 3-4 hours only and no need to soak overnight I think(but not sure,for me it works). We should check for correct soaking always!if we soak it longer,then sago will go mushy.Soaked sago will be whitish and when it cooks nicely it becomes transparent and glossy.If not adding peanut powder(roast peanuts before powdering)we can add coconut scrapings too! it will also be good.Its a deviation from routine idli,dosa and chapathi!its not at all a complicated dish to make.After draining sago if you need you can add a few drops of oil so that it does not stick.But I have not tried adding it cooking as such is fine for me.Adding turmeric is also optional if you don’t want you can avoid adding it.It is a simple recipe you can always keep in your menu lists and adding carrots too is optional(usually some boiled potatoes are added) .

Notes

Soaking time is important otherwise the sago will become mushy.
Adding grated ginger is optional.
Only bigger variety of javvarisi is well suited for this upma.
After adding sago continue to fluff it up otherwise there chances that it will clog together.
Sometimes grated coconut can also be added which will also be good.
