Recipe:
Sabudana khichdi /sago seeds /Tapioca pearls
Ingredients:
Sabudana/sahi seeds /Tapioca - 2 cups
Unsalted peanuts - 1/2 cup
Potatoes - 1 large
Green chillies - 2
Curry leaves - 4
Coriander - 1/3 cup
Oil or ghee - 2 tbsp
Cumin seeds - 2 tsps
Jaggery - 1 tsp (optional) you can also use sugar or brown sugar.
Sweet lime - 1
Salt - 1/2 tsp
Preparation:
1. For this recipe you need to have the sabudana pearls to be pre-soaked in water for atleast 2-3 hours or preferably overnight.
Tip: The water level needs to be just enough to cover all pearls to allow them to fluff up properly and not get sticky.
2. Start with roasting your peanuts. This will allow for a nice aromatic peanut powder to be formed.
Tip: Roasting peanut is the best way to de-skin them. Once roasted just put them on a plate and shake them to remove the skins and blow the skins away. Also wet the peanuts slightly prior to roasting.
3. Save 10-12 whole peanuts for later and Blend the rest to form a coarse powder.
Tip: Use a single blade attachment to get the correct coarse consistency.
4. Now heat a pan and add oil.
5. Once the oil is hot add cumin seeds.
6. As the cumin seeds will start sputtering add the coriander, green chillies and curry leaves.
7. Cut the boiled potatoes into bite size cubes and add to the pan.
8. Once the boiler potatoes have slightly caramelised add the sabudana pearls.
9. Now once the sabudana is properly coated with oil and other ingredients add the corse blended peanuts.
10. Add the whole roasted peanuts now.
11. This is optional step but I love the addition of this ingredient because it just brings a lot of flavour to the whole dish - 1 tsp jaggery.
12. Squeeze in half a sweet lime. Leave the rest for garnish.
13. Cook and stir for another 2 minutes.
14. Plate it, garnish with some coriander and sweet lime.
Serve and enjoy!
