Sabudhana (or) Sago Kichdi is a Maharashtrian recipe (snack), my aunt taught me this while she was fasting (vrath). This is usually taken while fasting as this dish is very sumptuous and filling.
Soak the sago for 2-3 hours prior to preparation. The duration of soaking will be longer if you are using the small variety of sago. The texture of the sago will should look like the pic below. It should look like this, all puffed up & when you press it, it should mash. there you go !!
