SABUDANA UPMA

Every thing about SABUDANA UPMA | Vahrehvah :

Sabudana Upma
 
Sabudana upma is a simple, easy to prepare and a Maharashtrian favorite snack. Sabudana upma is normally eaten during fasting days. Sabudana upma is a low fat dish and makes good for breakfast time or even snack time. Sabudana means sago. Sago is made from the starch extracted from the pith (center) of the sago palm stems. Sago or sabudana is in the shape of small globules or pearls.
 
There are a variety of dishes made from Sabudana like the Sabudana payasam, Sabudana Khichdi, Sabudana vade and many more.Sabudana is full of starch or carbohydrates and is great for a quick boost of energy, and hence often served in India for breaking fasts during religious festivals. Sago soup is also great when you're sick because it gives you quick energy and is easy to digest.
 
According to Indian medicine, sago and rice have a cooling effect on the system; hence sago soup is given if you have excess bile (caused by excess body heat). Sabudana is just starch other than carbohydrates and low in fat and protein. Nutrition-wise, sabudana does not contain any minerals or vitamins and has very low amounts of calcium, iron, and fiber. However to compensate you can use ingredients like milk for making Payasam or vegetables and peanuts for preparing Sabudana upma or khichdi.
