Sago/sabudana/sauvarisi/sau is widely used in making kheer or payasam a delight for all,no 

doubt.Not only payasam Halwas,biscuits,and vadam are made with this pearly substance 

sourced from tapioca.

This is not a low calorie food.It is high in calories and high in providing energy.Not much of 

nutrient contents,but still loved by all ,even those who love to lose weight .Anyway,let me get 

into the savoury dish I would like to share.This breakfast listed dish can be eaten without any

accompaniments.Those who love the extra dish can opt for raita or coconut chutney.
