Sabudana Khichdi makes for a nutritious and filling meal, especially for those who are fasting.
1 cup sabudana (tapioca pearls) 2 potatoes 1/2 cup roasted peanuts 1-2 green chillies 1 tsp. cumin seeds 1 tbsp. ghee or oil 1/2 tsp. sugar 1 tbsp. lemon juice 2 tbsp. coriander leaves Fresh coconut
Rinse the sabudana in water till the water runs clear. Soak it in water overnight. Drain any excess water and set it aside.
In a kadhai, heat the oil, add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle. Then add diced potatoes and fry for 5–7 minutes.
Add the chopped green chillies and sauté for a minute, then the drained sabudana. Add the ground peanuts, sugar and salt.
Cook the mixture on medium-low heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent the sabudana from sticking to the pan.
Turn off the heat and add the lemon juice. Garnish the sabudana khichdi with freshly chopped coriander leaves and grated fresh coconut.
Serve the Sabudana Khichdi with yoghurt or a cup of tea.
