Sabudana is very filling and not very difficult to prepare. It also has a good shelf life and can be prefect while travelling or outings. The khichdi can be had for breakfast or as a snack. Traditionally, it is eaten during the periods of fasting when people do not eat cereals or anaaj. It acts a great substitute for wheat or rice for the fasting persons.
