Indore is a city known for its fine milieu of history, spirituality, and of course, scrumptious street food. And why not? Indoris are quite passionate about their food, and it is quite evident with a wide variety of street food delicacies available here. From Bhutte Ki Kees to Jalebi Poha to Sabudana Vada, Indore’s Street food is no less than a gastronomical treasure for the foodies. And believe me, Sabudana Khichdi is the soul of this treasure. While Sabudana Khichdi is popular across India, Indore's version is known for its fiery spiciness.
Indore's Sabudana Khichdi is very popular, thanks to its bold and spicy flavors. Made with sabudana, peanuts, green chilies, curry leaves, cumin seeds, and other spices, this gem is prepared and sold by street vendors in every nook and corner of the city. What’s so special about this Sabudana Khichdi? While the street-side preparation adds an element of authenticity and charm to the dish, the special Indori version has namkeen or sev and spices added on top. It is often served with yogurt to balance out the heat and spice of the dish. Additionally, a garnish of fresh coriander leaves and a squeeze of lime juice add an extra kick.
So, if you are in Indore or visiting the city anytime soon, here are 10 best places to have Sabudana Khichdi in Indore. You know what? These places have been recommended by some of the popular city foodies. Here you go!
