Saboodana Khichdi, Vada, Kheer etc. are some favourite recipes in most Indian households, especially during fasts. Never knew how the small, round, white pearl-like food came from. Did some net research, spoke to a few people and then an email from Seemadidi (Sehgal) intrigued my interest even more. What is Saboodana made from? Is it Healthy? Is it suitable for Vegetarians?

My family and I have been learning Asthanga Yoga from Roxanna Lucero, a disciple of MokshPriya, who is a disciple of Maa Yog Shakti, for several years now. It has made a tremendous difference to our healths. More recently, Smita Sehgal was visiting London and inspired me to accompany her and Kuhu to a Bikram Yoga studio in Fulham.
