Sabudana Khichdi 








INGREDIENTS:

1 cup sabudana or tapioca pearls
2 small to medium size potatoes/aloo
½ cup roasted peanuts/moongphali
8-10 curry leaves/kadi patta (optional)
1 tsp grated ginger/adrak (optional)
1 green chili/hari mirch, chopped
1 tsp cumin/jeera
¼ cup grated fresh coconut (optional)
½ to 1 tsp sugar or as required
½ to 1 tsp lemon juice or as required (optional)
2 tbsp oil
Rock salt as required

INSTRUCTIONS:
  • Soak sabudana overnight or for 3-5 hours.
  • Next day drain the sabudana very well and keep aside in a bowl.
  • Boil the potatoes and when warm peel and chop them.
  • In a pan dry roast the peanuts till browned and when cooled make a coarse powder in a mortar-pestle or in a dry grinder.
  • Mix the coarsely powdered peanuts, salt and sugar with the drained sabudana.
  • Now heat oil. Fry the cumin first till they crackle and get browned.
  • Now add the curry leaves and green chilies. Fry for half a minute and then add the grated ginger.
  • Stir till the raw smell of the ginger goes away. Now add potato and sauté for 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the sabudana. Keep on stirring the mixture.
  • When the sabudana loses their opaqueness and starts becoming translucent they are cooked.
  • Don’t overcook as they might become lumpy and hard.
  • Lastly add grated coconut. Mix well. Close the fire.
  • While serving garnish sabudana khichdi with coriander leaves and drizzle with some lemon juice.
  • Serve sabudana khichdi hot.
