Dal Bafia is a common meal in the region and can be easily found in Indore and other nearby regions, consisting of a steamed and grilled wheat cake dunked in rich ghee which is eaten with daal and ladoos. The culinary speciality of the Malwa and specially Indore region of central Madhya Pradesh is poha (flattened rice); usually eaten at breakfast with Jalebi. Beverages in the region include lassi, beer, rum and sugarcane juice. A local liquor is distilled from the flowers of the mahua tree and date palm is also popular. In tribal regions, a popular drink is the sap of the sulfi tree, which may be alcoholic if it has gone through fermentation.

Delicious khichdi.
Sabudana Khichadi is also very popular in Maharashtra but the recipe is slightly different. I will definitely try your version with curry leaves and ginger. Sounds yum!
I also loved reading about different foods in various regions of MP. Great post!
Sabudana Khichdi is my favorite meal during Ekadashi. We love this with roasted peanuts as well. Thanks for the reminder.
We are huge fan of sabudana khichdi, crunchy peanuts and dash of sugar and lime juice make the khichdi amazing! This recipe sounds good.
Sabudana khichdi are always welcome during festive time. Yours looks bit diff. Use of curry leaves must be adding a lovely aroma to the dish
