SAGO / JAVVARUSI KITCHADI

Just to share with you......

This I tried on my own by searching on net. But I had this many times before from my north Indian friend Maitri. Every friday she used to do fasting and during fasting she used to eat this.

I modified her recipe a little with the ideas I got from net and I started cooking this. Though this can be eaten as breakfast , we used to eat this as evening tiffin/snack. Hope you will also enjoy.
