Sabudana, also known as tapioca pearls, is a starchy substance extracted from the roots of the cassava plant. It's commonly used in Indian cuisine, particularly during fasting periods, to make dishes like sabudana khichdi or sabudana vada. When cooked, it becomes translucent and has a chewy texture. It's rich in carbohydrates and provides energy, making it a popular choice for fasting meals.
