Sabudana Upma

This is the first time I am preparing sabudana upma. I have eaten sago made in sweet but this is the first time experiencing savory dish. I got this recipe from my friend and she makes sago upma very well. It tasted similar to pasta. I liked the taste. I made this for dinner and we both relished it. You can have with chutney‘s or Sāmbhar as a side dish for this sago upma. Here the recipe goes!!
