What one serving looks like
One plate of about 150 g of sabudana khichdi is a pile of soaked tapioca pearls with potato and peanuts, glossy with ghee.
Where it fits in a 1,200 to 1,600 kcal day
At 313 kcal, one serving is about 20 percent of a 1,600 kcal day and about 26 percent of a 1,200 kcal day. It is a fasting food, so many people eat it on vrat days. It is mostly starch and fat, so it gives quick energy but not much protein or fibre.
