Sabudana/Tapioca Cultlet

Sabudana according to wikipedia is a starch extracted in the spongy center or pith of various tropical palm stem. If you are wondering how sabudana looks like - it looks like white pearls and usually cooked after soaking it in water. 

It is greatly used in Northern India during the fasting period. It is high in carbohydrates and low in fat. Since it is so rich in starch, it keeps you fuller for a longer time and is ideal during fasting.
