Sabudana, also known as tapioca pearls, is a popular ingredient in Indian fasting and traditional recipes. Known for its soft texture when cooked, sabudana is widely used to prepare dishes such as sabudana khichdi, sabudana vada, kheer, and snack preparations. It absorbs flavours easily and provides a satisfying texture in both savoury and sweet dishes. Sabudana is especially popular during fasting seasons and festival recipes.
