Description: Sabudana, also known as sago seeds or tapioca pearls, is a starchy substance extracted from the center of the stems of sago palm trees. The extracted starch is then processed into small white pearls or granules. Sabudana pearls have a distinctive translucent appearance and a chewy texture when cooked.
Use:
Sabudana is commonly used to prepare various dishes, especially during fasting periods.
It is a staple ingredient in dishes like Sabudana Khichdi, Sabudana Vada and Sabudana Kheer.
Sabudana is soaked in water before cooking to soften the pearls and remove excess starch.
It is then used in recipes where it absorbs flavors and provides a filling texture to dishes.
