    Sabudana Khichdi: A kick-start Breakfast to welcome the Poila Boishakh

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

    The first day of the year is one of the special days of our life and obviously we bongs are no exception to this. We celebrate our truly bongly Poila Boishakh (the first day of the month of Boishakh) on our unique way. A day very special to the Bongs when we traditionally start our financial year by closing the debt of last year through Haal Khata; having loads of misti and good food; opting for new clothes; worshiping Lakshmi- Ganesh Thakur and last but not the least by cleaning the house to start a guilt free new year. I being a working mother and food blogger have a very tight schedule altogether but always try to celebrate our festivals as much as possible with positive vibe. For Poila Boishakh, this year I have opted for a thorough cleaning of the household, making some homemade chocolates for gifting and a good Bengali treat for the family. Since we had planned for an elaborate lunch so I decided to make something non-bong for the breakfast which has to be a fulfilling. I have opted for nothing but Maharastrian Sabudana Khichdi (read Sabur Khichuri) for the breakfast of Poila Boishakh.

    %Sabudana Khichdi Recipe

    Sabudana Khichdi is a signature Maharastrian dish and I was not aware of it till I was not in North India given In Bengal we have Sabur Khichuri with Daal while in the Maharastrian version no Daal is used but mixed with broken Peanuts, curry leaves and potato. It is also known as Vrat Ki Khichdi since Sabudana Khichdi is often prepared during fasting especially Navratri. This recipe is for both Poila Boishakh and Navratri from Debjanir Rannaghar.
