    Notes :

    • Use big sabudana/sago variety for making this khichdi.
    • Don't add more water while soaking sabudana. Otherwise, khichdi will be too mushy.
    • Make sure that sabudana is soft after soaking and then proceed, else the sabudana pearls would be hard to chew after cooking.
    • You can either use cashews or peanuts powder as per your choice. For babies below one year, cashews are recommended as peanuts pose allergy risks.
    • Any cooked vegetables can be used instead of potatoes.
    • Always check with your doctor before giving any new food to your baby.
    • Make sure the potatoes are soft enough to bite but not too mushy.
    • Skip tempering part, green chilies, sugar and salt for babies below one year.
    • Make sure to introduce everything separate to your baby before you try this sabudana khichdi.
