It's simple and has no rocket science,We need to soak sago.For example, if you are taking 1 cup sagoSo take 1 1/2 cup - 1 3/4 cup water and throw the excess waterDo not soak much just like this!There are only few ingredients used in this dish,So we'll start with gingerAnd green chilli skip ginger if you don't eatAnd its very big confusion in fasting so I'm informing you prior.

Please ask you mom what is to be eaten during fastAnd if you are making for a person who is fasting ask them too.It's vey big confusion some eat the things and some don't,You will make food with love and they don't eat certain things.All good things start with ghee"whether fasting or not, its all about ghee"Lets cut potatoes to save our time later!Take 2 medium size potato,And cut potato in med

That's it!Whether fasting or not, believe me the dish is amazing!Its the best for high tea snacks,I made this because my dads making teaDads tea and my sago khichdi!Sago is made of tapioca tree!Its made of roots of tapioca tree,Tapioca roots were brought in Kerala in late 1800sWhen there was a drought!And people did not get rice,Before this tapioca was used in Africa as a substitute of rice.

And it grows in huge bunches,So the king of Kerala brought it to India,And they survived drought by tapioca tree.People say if there wouldn't be tapioca the impacts of drought would have been worse!Sago is made by grinding and straining the roots of tapioca.Not only tapioca but is also made from sago palm/ sago pearls,Sago palm is a type palm tree.

It is also made by grinding stems of sago palm,So it is called sago palm.Sago pearls, tapioca pearls are made more in IndiaAnd in foreign countries its sago pearls.Okay!At this stage,Sprinkle 1 tsp waterAnd its done!Very good!Its a good example of, and it will make you feel proud!Okay!Because the sago is fluffed upCumin is cooked wellIn between you will taste potatoes, it will enhance the tasteAnd....Please get it checked by your fasting expertEither fresh coriander is been eaten in fast.

My mom says sometimes its used and sometimes she denies,So I'm putting fresh coriander as I cannot resistAnd if you are fasting expert and you believe its not used then skip this.Okay!And here's our fresh corianderIf others are fasting and you don't then you can add some lime juice and eat.

And if you too are fasting you can have it curd!Little bit of sour curd, add some sugar so the dish will its sour tastesAs of now we have prepared fasting sagoAnd I will get plate!Like i said if you are not fasting,Add fresh coriander and lemon wedge.Okay!Moral of story is you don't have to wait for fastingKeep fast yourself!And it happens only in India!Be it fasting or party, people love to eat.Isn't it!
