Sabudana
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Sabudana" is the Hindi/Marathi word for pearl sago. Sabudana "grains" look like tapioca and are small (about 2 mm diameter) dry, white balls. When cooked they turn from their opaque white color to translucent, and become soft and spongy. In North and western India it is most commonly used in fasting dishes, such as sabudana khichdi and sabudana wada. In South India they are used to make small pappadam wafers, wadas and also for making a variant of a sweet semi liquid desert called Payasa or Kheer.
Sabudana (the word) itself is made up of two words sabut (means whole) + dana (means grain or seed)
