SABUDANA CHIVDA

Sabudana chivda is made with nylon sabudana and not with the regular sabudana which we buy for making khichadi.  I always used to wonder how it is made and i tried with the regular one and could not succeed. Actually, I was not aware of the variety of nylon sabudana.  Yesterday when i went to buy paneer, i saw the packet of sabudana chivda on the rack.  I just enquired with the shop keeper how it is made, he said it is made with nylon sabudana.  I could not resist myself and asked him to give me 250 gms of nylon sabudana.
