is sabudana (sago) khichidi healthy?
Yesterday, my friends and I visited an Indian restaurant and tried sabudana khichidi for the first time. We loved the taste! I hope I spelled its name correctly. I would like to know if sabudana khichidi is healthy, especially for someone like me who is on a diet and trying to lose 10 pounds. Thank you!

Sabudana is basically Tapioca. It is all starch. The Khichri is made by adding raw peanuts and potatoes, spices and Ghee.
Tapioca is not a grain like whole wheat or Brown rice. So it is all carbohydrate with minimum fiber. To lose weight, you should focus on fiber. You need about 14 grams of fiber per day. I would not recommend Tapioca for weight-loss
Also, most of the stuff has a lot of Ghee for frying. Ghee is high in saturated fats and even Cholesterol. It would be better to make this Khichri with Canola oil
Even the peanuts are high in fats
I would NOT recommend Sabudana Khichdi for weight-loss program
Reasons: Low fiber, High fat, High calorie, High Cholesterol and saturated fats
I’ve tried many diets and couldn’t make anything work. Since having my first child, I’ve been carrying around an extra 30 pounds. This diet just made sense and showed me that everything I was doing before was wrong and a waste of my time.
The plan was so refreshing and so simple to follow. I did everything plan said and lost 23 pounds in the first three weeks. I’m now starting the diet again to lose 7 more pounds. This plan has changed my life.

Moong Dal “I actually learned this in the kitchen of this lovely Indian woman!” 2 1/2 cups dried yellow split peas 2 1/2 cups water 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger root 1 teaspoon diced jalapeno chile pepper 1/2 cup diced tomatoes 3 teaspoons lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric 2 teaspoons vegetable oil 1 teaspoon cumin seed 1/2 dried red chile pepper 1 pinch Asafoetida 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro Rinse split peas; soak in 2 1/2 cups water for 30 minutes. Heat split peas and water, with salt, until boiling. Reduce heat to medium and cook 15 to 20 minutes, until tender and thickened. Add more water, if necessary, to prevent drying out. To the cooked split peas add ginger, jalapeno pepper, tomato, lemon juice and turmeric. Heat oil in a small saucepan and add cumin seed and red chile pepper. When pepper is heated add Asafoetida and garlic. Stir mixture into split peas and add cilantro; mix well. Sabudana is mixed with either vermicelli or moong daal to make payasam(paays). Sabudana-vermicelli is a very popular combination compared to sabudana-moong daal combination. Both have exactly the same recipe. Ingredients: 1/2 cup moong daal or 1/2 cup vermicelli 1/2 cup sabudana 1 cup sugar 1 tea spn raisins(dry grapes) 1 cup cashews 1/4 tea spn cardamom powder 1 tea spn ghee 1 cup milk Method: Soak sabudana in water for about 30mins. Wash moong daal in water. Heat ghee and fry raisins and cashews for sometime. Add moong daal (or vermicelli) and fry till a nice aroma comes out. Now add milk, sabudana and cook till moong daal and sabudana are cooked well (You can cook them in water instead of milk, but milk gives a nice flavor). Add sugar and cook till sugar is diluted. Take out from heat and add cardamom powder. Mix well. Serve hot or cold.
