Sabudhana kichdi (ஜவ்வரிசி கிச்சடி)

         
              This dish is common comfort food in northindia during fasts. Me prefer this dish because it's free from onion & garlic, sounds more saathveegam on fasting days isn't it?  It's interesting that sabudhana is made from kappakizhangu / maravallikizhnagu (tapioca) in tamil, shakkar kandh in hindi. The roots of the tapioca is crushed & stored in the tank.  After few days it becomes like a paste. Then the paste processed through the machinery holes to attain the desired shape.The most available shape in the market is pearl sago. Salem city has a marketing center for sago, Tamilnadu is accounted for over 95% of the India's sago supply  hmm, lets go for the recipe
