Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 cup sabudana tapioca pearls
  • 1 medium potato peeled and diced
  • cup raw peanuts
  • 1-2 green chilies adjust to taste
  • ½ inch ginger
  • 2-3 sprigs fresh curry leaves; discard the stem, use leaves only
  • ½ teaspoon cumin seeds
  • fasting salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoon ghee or peanut oil
  • fresh coriander leaves chopped (for garnish)
  • lemon wedges for serving

Instructions
 

  • Rinse the sabudana pearls in water 2-3 times until the water runs clear. Soak the pearls in enough water to cover them by an inch or two, overnight or for at least 5-6 hours.
  • Drain the excess water and let the sabudana sit for 30 minutes to an hour. The pearls should be soft and moist but not mushy.
  • Reserve 1 tablespoon of raw peanuts. Coarsely grind the remaining raw peanuts, green chili, ginger, and curry leaves.
  • Mix the coarsely ground peanut mixture with the well-drained sabudana. Mix gently.
  • Heat the ghee in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the reserved peanuts, and roast them. Remove them and reserve them for garnish.
  • In the same pan, add the cumin seeds and let them splutter.
  • Add the potato, and salt to taste, and mix well. Cover and cook until the potato is 95% cooked.
  • Now add the sabudana to the pan, along with freshly squeezed lemon juice, and salt to taste. Gently mix everything together. Cover and cook for 5-6 minutes or until the sabudana pearls become translucent and soft. Stir occasionally to prevent sabudana from sticking to the pan.
  • Garnish with roasted peanuts, fresh coriander leaves, and lemon wedges.
  • Enjoy non-sticky, soft & fluffy Sabudana Khichdi!
